KHARTOUM,  Kgypt,  iJec.  24. — One  of 
the  most- Interesting  relics  of  "Chinese" 
Liordoii,  the  hero  of  Khartoum,  in  itiio 
shape  of  his  "prayer  mat,"  which  he 
used  while  Governi5r  of  the  Soudan 
from  187  6  to  1871),  has  just  been  recov- 
ered and  brought  back  to  this  city.  Jt 
was  given  to  Bishop  Gwlnn  by  one  of 
General  Gordon's  men,  and  has  now  been 
placed  In  the  Gordon  Memorial  Chapel. 
It  is  a  piece  of  wooTen  needlework,  a 
yard  long  and  eighteen  Inches  wide, 
and  is  exactly  similar  to  the  prayer 
mats  carried  by  devout  Moslems. 
Bishop  Gwinn  considered  It  highly  ap- 
propriate to  have  Gen.  Gordon's  prayer 
mat  In  the  chapel  in  tlmo  for  tnu  an- 
niversary of  his  death,  -whlcn  occurred 
during  the  massacre  of  the  inhabitants 
of  Khartoum  by  the  Arabs  on  Janu- 
ary   Z6,    1885. 


ArranKcments  between  the  Govern- 
ment of  British  Columbia  and.  the  sev- 
eral interested  inilwHy  companies  for 
the  establishment  of  thoroughly  modern 
terminals,  union  passenger  stations, 
ireight  sheds,  yards,  carshops,  etc.,  on 
the  central  area  for  so  many  years 
forming  the  Songhees  Reserve  In  the 
heart  of  Victoria,  were  yesterday  com- 
pleted, after  a  series  of  protracted  con- 
ferences between  the  Prime  Minister, 
Sir  Richard  McBrldo,  and  the  Minister 
of  Railways,  Hon.  Thomas  Taylor,  re- 
presenting the  people  of  British  Colum- 
bia; and  Mr.  T.  G.  Holt,  Mr.  White 
(Chief  Engineer),  Mr.  D.  O.  i.ewis  and 
Mr.  K.  Marpole,  Mr.  Gamble  (Chief  Kn- 
glneer)  and  Mr.  Cartwright,  represent- 
ing respectively  the  Canadian  Northern 
and  Canadian  Pacific  systems. 

Connection  between  erstwhile  Re- 
.verve  areas  and  the  city  proper  is  hs- 
surod  by  the  guarantee  of  early  con- 
struction of  a  masslvee  modern  bridge 
from  the  foot  of  Johnston  Street — In 
the  coat  of  which  the  railway  com- 
panies are  to,  Jolrt — and  the  continua- 
tion of  Johnson  Street  as  a  wide  and 
pretentious    thoroughfare. 

A  promise  somK?  time  ago  made  to  the 
city  Is  redeemed  in  the  rcsenfation  of 
a  sufficient  and  carefully  chosen  site 
for  public  park  purposes,  and  the  re-

SANDY  HOOK,  Dec.  24.— Noelng  her 
way  througli  a  blinding  snowstorm,  the 
Steamship  Turrialba,  of  the  Unlte<l 
Kruit  Company's  line,  went  hard  aground 
today  on  the  sandy  waters  of  the  Jersey 
shore  line,  between  Barnegat  and  At- 
lantic City.  A  stiff  northwest  gale  was 
blowUig,  but  this  afternoon  word  was 
received  by  wireless  that  she  was  rest- 
ing easy. 

Aid  came  tonight  to  the  Turrialba  as 
alie  lay  hard  aground  on  the  sands, 
.south  of  Barnegat,  pounded  by  a  heavy 
sea,  and  with  more  than  60  passengers 
on  board  .anxiously  awaiting  rescue. 
Sumtnonfcd  to  the  rescue  by  wireless,  the 
revenue  cutter  Seneca,  after  a  run  under 
forced  draught,  reached  the  side  of  the 
liner  not  long  after  nightfall,  prepared 
to  give  what  assistance  might  be  neces- 
sary. 

.\s  the  Turrialba  began  to  list  badly, 
though  not  making  water,  and  the  fall- 
ing sea  and  wind,  combined  to  mitigate 
the  dangers  of  her  position.  It  was  de- 
cided not  to  make  any  attempt  to  re- 
move her  passengers  till  morning.  The 
dry  ship  and  the  assurance  of  the  of- 
ficers that  the  vessel  was  in  no  Im- 
minent danger  of  breaking  up  served 
to  make  their  Christmas  eve  on  board 
les.s    terrifying,    If    not   exactly    merry. 

Direct  news  from  tho  steamer  by 
wireless  cMrrnt  shortly  before  ten  o'clock 
tonight  in  a  message  timed  at  10:45  to 
llie  office  of  the  line  here  It  read: 
".Ssneca  arrived.  We  have  decided  to 
liold  passengers  till  daylight,  owing  to 
heavy  seas.  Seneca  and  life-savers 
standing   by.      Ship   dry." 

Previously  much  the  same  word  had 
been  sent  from  tlie  stranded  vessel  to 
the  Prince  Auguste  'Wllhelm,  which  In- 
quired by  wireless  while  hearing  the 
Turrialba's  position,  asking  If  her  cap- 
tain wanted  the  German  liner  to  remove 
the  steamer's  passengers. 

The  captain  of  the  stranded  steamer 
refused  the  offer  and  said  the  Seneca 
would    take   them   off  In   the  mornlnj. 

For  many  hours  after  the  steamer 
grounded,  the  life-savers  were  unable  to 
get  to  her  feecauso  of  the  difficulty  of 
her  position,  being  three  milea  off  shore 
in  tho  blinding  snowstorm  which  was 
raging.  During  the  afternoon,  however, 
a  llfc-savlng  crew  made  its  way  out  to 
her  and  stood  by  ready  to  five  aaaiat- 
ance. 

Before  the  Seneca  reached  hei*.  how- 
ever, the  continued  eurglng  of  the  aeas 
had  rendered  the  lot  of  thoae  on  board 
decidedly  uncomfortable.  An  urgent 
mesaace  aakin;  aaslatance  a*  apeedlly  aa 
poaaible  waa  sent  from  her  at  l  oeloek. 
Weather  condition*  are  rapidly  improv- 
ing tontfht  This  with  tho  preaeaca  of 
the  Seneca  and  the  fact  that  the  ateamer 
la  making  no  water,  gave  reaaaurance.

OTTAWA,  Dec.  24. — Tho  Department 
of  Inland  Revenue  has  Issued  a  report 
on  -'52  samples  of  cocoa  and  chocolate 
which  have  recently  been  submitted  te 
an  analytical  test.  Samples  were  col- 
lected from  all  over  the  Dominion,  and 
the  result  Indicates  a  pure  article.  The 
report  says:  "Where  our  Inspeciois 
havo  sent  In  considerable  numbers  of 
samples  from  the  same  manufacturer 
it  will  be  noted  that  such  samples,  when 
representing  the  same  brand,  give  an- 
alytical results  of  a  very  consistent 
character.  It  may  be  .safely  inferred 
that  cocoa  and  chocolate  as  found  on 
our  markets  are  of  good  iiuallty.  In 
one  or  two  instances  tlie  ash  and  fat 
contents  are  exceptional.  Such  samples 
are  usually  sold  in  bulk  and  do  not  bear 
the  manufacturers  name.  They  contain 
an  excess  of  cocoa  husk.  We  have  not 
established  any  legal  standards  for 
these  articles,  and  present  reports  may 
serve  the  purpose  of  a  guide  in  future 
actions    in    this    direction,"

today  for  ■expressions  of  appreciation 
by  many  of  the  leading  public  men  In 
Great  Britain,  the  I'nlted  States  and 
Canada  through  the  medium  of  The  Bel- 
fast   Telegraph. 

Earl  Grey,  former  Oovernor-General 
of  Canada,  wrote — The  hundred  year 
peace  has  been  of  untold  advantage  to 
the  political  and  s'Scial  developmmt 
alike  of  Great  Britain,  tha  United 
States  and  Cnnada.  We  hope  to  have  a 
worthy  celebration  of  the  occasion  two 
years  hence. 

The  Earl  of  Meath  wrote — War  be- 
tween tilt  two  great  branches  of  the 
Anglo-Saxon  race,  let  us  firmly  believe 
to  be  an  impossibility  in  the  future. 
Such  a  belief  will  go  far  to  make  It 
Impossible. 

becretary  Knox  of  the  United  States 
wrote — This  anniversary  serves  to  re- 
mind us  not  of  the  lerminatlon  of  a 
great  struggle  but  of  the  subsequent 
passing  of  almost  a  centviry  of  peace 
and  good  will.  In  this  long  era  of  un- 
broken friendship  we  and  tho  English 
people,  our  cousins,  have  realized  and 
benefitted  from  our  kinship.  Neigh- 
borly intercourse  and  trade  have  de- 
veloped and  grown  to  colossal  ■propor- 
tl'ons. 

G.  W.  Wickersham,  the  United  States 
Attorney-General,  wrote — The  peace 
started  between  us  nearly  a  century 
ago,  and  has  now  become  not  only  a 
habit  but  a  condition  which  it  Is  uH- 
thlnkable  should  ever  be  altered  . 

Hon.  Martin  Burrell.  Canadian  Min- 
ister of  Agriculture,  wrote-^If  to  com- 
memorate special  days  Is  a  good  thing 
in  general.  It  Is  especially  pleasant  to 
think  of  the  commemoration  of  a  day 
which  happily  has  given  a  century  of 
peace  between  cousins  ao  intimately 
connected  by  ties  of  blood,  race'  and 
language. 

Judeon  Harmon.  Governor  of  Ohio, 
wrote — Yours  is  a  happy  thought  to 
celebrate  the  anni\-«rsary  of  the  Treaty 
of  Ghent.  It  la  well  to  remind  the 
people  of  the  United  Statea,  Great  Brlt- 
lan  and  Canada  that  a  century,  lacking 
only  two  years,  has  gojw  by  eince  that 
treaty  established  between  them  a 
peace  which  has  prevailed  ever  alnce. 

Charlea  "VV.  Falrbajnka,  form«r  Vici- 
president  of  the  United  Statea,  wrote — 
"We  rejoice  in  the  aaaurance  of  the  past 
and  the  preaent  t^at  the  long  era  of 
tranquility  which  we  have  enjoyed 
will  continue  unbroken  forever.

The  general  arrangements  of  tho 
agreement  for  the  partition  of  the 
former  Songhees  Reserve  were  yester- 
day explained  to  The  Colonist  by  Mr. 
D.  O.  Lewis,  the  divisional  engineer  of 
the  Canadian   Northern   Pacific  Railway. 

The  basic  principle  of  tho  agreement  ■ 
is  that  in  it  the  interests  of  both  the  | 
railways  at  present  concerned,  of  all  j 
other  railways  which  may  want  to 
come  ill,  of  the  City  of  "Victoria,  of  the 
general  public  and  of  the  Provincial  i 
Government   havo   all    boen   safeguarded- 

In  every  case  A'liere  public  protec- 
tion roiiuires,  not  only  for  the  public 
of  today,  but  for  the  interests  of  gene- 
rations ytjt  to  come,  ample  provision 
has  been  made  by  which  level  crossings 
shall  be  eliminated  at  points  of  danger, 
all  zones  of  possible  trouble  being 
crossed  either  under  the  level  of  exist- 
ing   roads    or    railways    or   above    them. 

Traokaga  on  moaarra 

The  south  side  of  the  reserve  is  al- 
located to  tho  Island  Division  of*,  tha 
C.  P.  R..  comprising  about  thirty-two 
acres.  The  north  side  and  that  portion 
of  the  reserve  lying  alongside  the 
upper  waterfront  of  about  thlrty-fotir 
acres  Is  given  to  the  Canadian  Nor-lh- 
ern  Pacific,  with  the  excaption  that 
from  a  point  near  Point  Elllce  bridge

dviatrlal  sites,  over  a  "common  user" 
trackage  (which  means  that  all  rail- 
ways shall  have  eqwal  access  to  the 
tracks  on  equal  terms.  The  Canadian 
Pacific  will  still  hold  its  freight 
yards  on  Store  Street,  "securing  access 
to  the  terminals  on  the  old  reserve  by 
a  new  bridge  which  is  to  be  built  at

to    weigh   against    their    many    gnoa~rea-' 
tures  and  especially  uKalnsi  their  auali- 
fleatlons  as  aKricuUiirl.«<ts. 

'■5.  That  their  refusal  to  comply 
■nitli  the  reglRtratlon  laws  and  SchooU 
Act  is  based  upon  their  religious  be- 
liefs and  conscientious  scruples,  and 
their  attitude  Is   genuine. 

"6.  That  there  Is  sufficient  evidence 
to  lustlfy  the  conclusion  that  their 
views  win  be  modified  as  they  become 
better  acquainted  with  the  true  char- 
acter  of   our    InBtltutlona. 

"7.  That  the  head  of  the  Poukhobor 
Community.  Peter  Veregin,  has  .suf- 
ficient Influence  and  authority  to  bring 
about  full  compliance  with  these  lawa. 
if  not  ut  once,  at  any  rate  within  a 
reasonable  time. 

"8.  That  there  is  reason  to  believe 
that  the  Poukhobons  have  to  some  ex- 
tent been  kept  in  the  dark  as  to  their 
obllgu-tions  under  certain  Canadian 
laws. 

••0.  That  they  have  imbibed  the  Im- 
pression that  as  long  as  they  did  not 
become  naturalized  British  subjects 
they  would  not  be  called  upon  to  obey 
certain    laws. 

"10.  That  they  have  been  taught 
that  in  coming  to  British  Columbia  and 
acquiring  tlieir  land  by  purchase  from 
Individuals  they  would  not  be  under 
the  same  obligation  to  obey  the  laws 
as  In  SaakalolM-wan,  whftTt;-  they  ^  ac- 
ouired  their  lalnd  from  the  Govern- 
ment. 

"11.  That  punishment  by  Itoprison- 
ment  fall,^  of  Its  effects  in  their  ca.-^e 
because  they  rcfeard  It  M  perHecution. 
and  Ihev  are  the  more  Inclined  to  this 
vuw  because  a  spirit  of  distrust  has 
been  developed  In  them  In  consequence 
of  the  persecution  to  which  they  have 
been  pubjectid  for  more  than  three 
luin'Irrd    Vfars. 

BAconuneadatloiit 
••A.  That  haviii^  regard  to  the  sin- 
cerity of  the  mt)rrt^er»  of  the  Ooukho- 
bor  Community  in'  their  opposition  to 
the  registration  laws  and  the  Schools 
Act,  and  bearing  In  mind  tlJeir  strong 
rellKlous  views,  their  honesty  of  pur- 
pose and  their  ingrained  obstinacy,  no 
drastic  step.s  should  be  taken  to  fore*- 
their  immediate  compliance,  but  thai 
suitable  representations  be  made  to 
Peter  Veregin,  their  head,  of  th«  de- 
termination of  the  Oovernment  to  In- 
sist on  compliance,  and,  meanwhile  It 
It  Is  found  necessary  to  resort  to 
prosecution  and  conviction  ensue.-.  It  Is 
desirable  that  the  punishment  should 
take  the  form  of  flhes  rather  than  Im- 
prlaonmcnt.  as  the  Imposition  of  fines 
would  he  more  effective  and  would 
,  bring  the  matter  home  to  the  parties 
directly    responsible — the    leaders. 

"B.  That  all  the  conflltions  would 
appiar  to  justify  the  Government  In 
adopting  a  policy  of  patience  with  the 
people  and  putting  pressure  on  their 
Icaderp. 

"C.  That  with  respect  to  the  regls- 
Irntlon  of  births,  deaths  and  marriages, 
a  responsible  member  of  the  Doukho- 
bor  Community  might  be  appointed  sub- 
registrar.  This  would  facilitate  regis- 
tration on  the  spot  and  prompt  com- 
munication with  the  Chl-ef  Registrar 
of    the  district.. 

"D.  That  with  respect  to  the  Tubllc 
SchcKJls  Act,  complianoe  should  be  in- 
sisted on,  and  In  order  to  give  th« 
T^oukhohors  confidence  and  secure  their 
sympathy,  some  Working  arrangement 
might  be  made  tinder  which  Hussian 
teachers  could  be  employed  In  con- 
Junction  with  Canadian  teacliers,  and 
the  curriculum  modified  so  as  to  in- 
clude only   (?.lomcntary  aubject*. 

"E.  That  having  regard  to  the  very 
extensive  and  Important  Interests,  rep- 
resented by  the  Poukhobors  In  this 
Province.  It  wotJld  be  good  policy  to 
appoint  a  permanent  Doukhobor  agent 
on  somewhat  similar  linen  to  the  In- 
dian agenta. 

"F.     That   It   1.'^  In   the  best   Interest* 
'of  tli«  country  that   the  Order-ln-Coun- 
clV    granting    exemption    from    mlllury 
service  BhouM   be  cancelled. 

"O.  Thai,*  It  i«  not  desirable  that  any 
more  Doukhobors  should,. be  admitted 
to  Canada  except  with  the  clear  under- 
standing  that  no  exceptions  of  any  kind 
will  )»s  allowed  In  the  matter  of  tha

Introduction  atatinc  that  f.nur  months' 
continuous  work  was  r«qulrad  to  com-

tings  were  held  at  Nalson,  Grand 
KorkH  and  Trail,  and  110  witnesses 
were  examined,  all  on  oath,  except  the 
Doukhobors,  who  do  not  take  an  oath, 
but  who  affirmed  "on  the  word  of  a 
Doukhobor." 

Throughout  the  inquiry  the  Commun- 
ity Doukhobors  were  represented  by 
their  counsel.  Mr.  A,  M.  Johnson,  of 
Nolaon,  and  the  non-Community  Douk- 
hobors, feeling  that  they  were  at  a  dis- 
advantage through  not  having  a  coun- 
.sel.  made  application  to  the  Court,  with 
the  result  that  the ,  Covernment  author- 
\7.ci\  the  appointment  of  Mr.  F.  C. 
Moffat,  of  Nelson,  who  thereafter  rep- 
roFcntod  the  non-Communliy  Ifoukho- 
bors.  This  roquesl,  altho\igh  unusual, 
was  granted  in  order  tlmt  all  classes 
of  Doukhobors  Interested  might'  be  sat- 
iBfiod  with  the  fairness  of  the  Inquiry. 
After  the  first  public  silting  In  Crraiid 
Forks,  where  the  greatest  opposition 
to  the  r)oukhi)borK  had  originated,  a 
roquest  was  iirefnrred  by  a  number  of 
leading  citizens  that  the  inquiry  should 
lie  adjotiriicd  to  givo  them  an  oppor- 
tunity to  procure  the  assistance  of 
counsel.  When  Iho  sittings  ware  re- 
sumed, Mr.  Sutton  appeared  on  tho  In- 
structions of  a  Citizens'  Committee  to 
re[)rcHf,nt  tlie  people  of  fJrand  I'^orks,

In»p«cted  All  Settlements 
In  ad<])tloii  to  tJie  publh;  .sltlin,':!.M  the 
Commissioner  made  a  personal  inspec- 
tion and  examination  of  all  the  Douk- 
hobor settlements  in  British  I'olumblfl, 
and,  at  the  request  of  the  loader.';,  held 
an  all-riay  session  in  tho  settlement  of 
Brilliant,  af  which  upwards  of  one 
thousand  Doukhobors  ansemhled.  At 
this  session  a  lengthy  discussion  of  the 
various  points  at  Issue  took  place,  but 
tho  Commlssionor  was  not  successful  In 
securing  any  undertaking  that  the  Com- 
munity would  abandon  its  altitude  of 
hostility  to  the  registration  laws  and 
the    Public    Schools    Act. 

During  tho  course  of  the  Investiga- 
tion In  British  Columbia  it  was  found 
that  the  Internal  economy  of  the  local 
settlement  was  so  wrapped  up  with 
that  of  the  seltlemonls  In  Saskatch- 
ewan that  It  would  be  Impossible  to 
make  a  complete  and  Intelligent  report 
without  studying  the  conditions  In  that 
Provlnco,  especially  as  tho  j)roperty  In- 
terests In  British  Columbia  were  de- 
rived from  prior  holdings  there.  Al- 
though under  tho  powers  of  the  Com- 
mission no  legal  investigation  could  be 
held  outside  British  Columbia,  it  was 
doomod' necessary  to  visit  the  Saskatch- 
owan  settlements  and  to  sectrre  such 
information  as  would  throw  light  on 
somo  of  the  problems  which  had  already 
presonted  then)selvos  in  British  Colum- 
bia. Accordingly  soyoral  weeks  were 
spent  in  the  Prairie  Provinces,  and  the 
towns  of  Yorkton.  Prince  Albert,  B\i- 
chanan   and   Veregin    wore    visited. 

The  result  of  this  inquiry  was  ex- 
ceedingly satisfactory,  as  It  enabled 
tho  Commissioner  to  obtain  all  the  In- 
formation required  affecting  the  ''om- 
nnmity  organization  and  management 
and  Its  property  interests,  as  well  as 
to  learn  on  the  spot  the  manner  In 
which  the  Doukhobors  had  conducted 
themselves  and  their  business  during 
tho  thirteen  yoars  they  hsd  8i)ent  In 
Saskatchewan. 

In  this  connection,  acknowledgement 
Is  made  to  the  very  va<uable  assistance 
rendered  to  tiie  Commissioner  by  Dr. 
T.  A.  Patrick,  of  Yorkton,  and  Mr. 
Hobort   Buchanon,   of   Buchanan. 

In  concluding  the  preface,  the  Com- 
missioner acknowledges  the  great  roadi- 
ncsH  with  which  tho  Doukhobors  and 
their  leadtTK.  hoth  In  British  Columbia 
and  Saskatciiowar:,  furnished  all  infor- 
mation askoi  for,  even  to  the  extent, 
of  placing  tlu'ir  V'rivate  books  and 
statement  of  accounts  In  his  hands. 
They  also  showed  him  the  utmost  per- 
sonal klndnesfi  all  the  time.  In  this 
connection  ho  accords  special  thanks 
to  Mr.  Poter  Veregin,  the  head  of  the 
Community.  Mr.  .T.  \V.  Shorblnin,  busi- 
ness managei'  In  British  Columbia,  and 
Mr.  Michael  W.  <'azakoff,  business

For  convenience  of  reference,  the  re- 
port Is  indcxcil  and  divided  into  four 
books  and  thirteen  chapters.  Book  1 
deals  v/lth  the  Doukhobors,  their  ori- 
gin and  history,  their  persecutions  in 
Russia,  their  c.vodus  to  Canada,  settle- 
ment In  Saskatchewan,  experiences  for 
thirteen  years,  and  their  removal  to 
British  Columbia.  Book  2  deals  with 
the  communal  system,  its  organization 
and  land  tenure,  the  habits,  customs 
and  practice  of  the  Doukhobors,  their 
religious,  moral  and  intellectual  llfo 
and  their  trading  and  business  reli;- 
tlons.  Book  3  Is  devoted  to  a  study  of 
tho  personality,  character  and  history 
of  tho  Doukhobor  leader,  Peter  Veregin. 
Book  1  la  practically  a  summary  of  the 
report  and  is  devoted  to  a  consideration 
of  the  objections  raised  to  the  Ijouk  • 
hobors,  together  with  tho  findings  and 
rooommoiirtatlons    of   the   Commissioner. 

Tho  report  Is  a  complete  compendium 
of  the  history,  beliefs  and  attitude  of 
this  remarkable  people.  It  traces  thair 
historic  origin  to  the  "Cossacks  of  the 
Don."  although  the  Dotikhobors  them- 
»e'U'o»  claim  to  ba  doeoedcd  from  the 
three  Hebrew  children,  Shadracb, 
Mosh^.-h  and  Abed-N6go.  who  passed 
through  the  fiery  furnaco  unharmed. 
The  report,  whilst  referring  to  the  fact 
that  they  havo  been  subjected  to  per- 
secution In  Russia  for  upwards  of  t^rae 
hundred  years,  first  because  of  thaIr 
dissent  from  th«  areok  Orthodox 
Church,  and  than  tiocausn  of  their  op- 
poalMon  to  mlliUry  service,  takes  up 
their  history  at  the  bot*nnln«  of  the

Quakar  maatlnf  In  X/ondon,  where  the 
wroBV  of  the  Russian  Doukholwrs  were 
oonsldored.     He  subsequently  continued 
to    befriend    them,    but    his    succcissor. 
Nlcholaa  I,  was  Just  as  harsh  and  cruel 
as  Alexander     had     been     aympathetic, 
and,    listening    to    the    dictates    of    the 
high    ecclesiastics   of    the   Greek   Ortho- 
dox Church,  he  promulgated  a  decree  In 
I82»,    trw-nsplanttng    the    Milky    Waters 
colony    from    the    Crimea    to    the    Cau- 
casus,  In   order   to  disperse   the  "obnox- 
ious   sect,"    and,  'although     there    was 
somo   delay    In  carrying    It   out,   still    In 
1841   effect  was  glvon  to  this  iniqulloue 
decree.       This     dlrperslon     lasted     four 
years;      twelve      thousand      Doukhobors 
wore  deported  from  a  flourishing  farm- 
ing   district    to    a    rough,    uncultivated, 
almost    sterile   country,   and    a    rigorous 
climate.      Their      whole      prop»»>-fy,      ac- 
quired  by   long   years   of   toll,   was   sold 
for    almost    nothing,    the    houses    aban- 
tlonc<l   an<l    tho   fields   given   up. 
rartlnf  From  the  Xtand 
■On   parting   from   the  land,   which   for 
so  many  yoars   had   fed   them,   the   liouk- 
hobor     women      knelt     and      pressed      to 
her    their    breasts;    they    kis.sed    her    and 
sobbed    through    their    hands    to    heaven 
and    sang    mournful     psalms.       But     tho 
earth    to   wbicii  they  ijro.'-sed  theii'  breasts 
and     the    men     who    should     have    heard 
them,      all       remained      deaf      to      thoir 
sorrow." 

This  people,  who  up  to  this  time  wore 
wealthy,  wore  now  removed  to  the  Per- 
sian frontier,  whero  they  were  continu- 
ally subjoctod  to  robbery  at  the  hands 
of  the  Tartars.  They  continued  to  re- 
.slde  in  the  Caucasus  until  thoir  removal 
to  Canada  in  lS9S-lS9".t.  During  the 
whole  of  thoir  residence  there  they 
were  in  constant  Conflict  with  the 
riovornment.  After  II'."  fl^nth  of  Nich- 
olas I,  his  successor,  ■  idar  It,  fol 
lownig  "ITie  example  of  liis  namesake, 
showed  them  great  co.Sslderation;  but 
Alexander  III  adopted  a  most  reaction- 
ary policy:  everywhere  he  curtailed  tho 
liberty  of  his  subjects,  suppressed  edu- 
cation and  stifled  the  press,  all  of 
which  meant  fiercer  prosecution  for 
the  Doukhobors.  Tho  great  famine  of 
1.S90  which  ravaged  every  part  of  Rus- 
sia and  brought  twenty  million  people 
to  the  vorge  of  starvation,  was  bitterly 
folt  by  the  Doukhobors.  Their  colony 
had  now  increasod  to  twenty  thousand 
•  and  had  become  fairly  prosperous.  In 
splto  of  the  very  adverse  conditions 
with    which    it    had    had    to    contend. 

In  1886  a  split  occurred  in  tho  com- 
munity. On  the  death  of  Lukerya  Va- 
sylyvna  Kalmykova,  Peter  Verogin, 
wlio  liad  been  oiipolnted  leader,  was  op- 
pojseri  for  that  position  by  a  brother 
of  his  predecessor.  Thl.s  brother,  by 
dint  of  securing,  the  aid  of  representa- 
tives of  the  Greek  Orthodox  Church, 
and,  it  is  openly  alleged,  by  bribing 
representatives  of  the  Russian  Govern- 
ment, brought  about,  on  a  charge  of  re- 
bellion, the  trial  of  Peter  Vereglti. 
This  charge  was  based  on  his  inciting 
the  people  to  refuse  to  bear  arms.  For 
the  moment  his  enomles  triumphed  and 
he  received  a  sentence  of  banishment. 
DC  was  exiled  first  to  Archangel  and 
afterwards  to  the  Province  of  Tobolsk, 
In  .mberla.  On  his  removal  from  tho 
form-er  to  tho  latter  he  was  visited  In 
the  prison  at  Moscow  by  Count  Leo 
Tolstoi,  who  from  that  day  on  became 
a  great  friend  of  Verogln's  and  tlie 
avowtd  advocate  of  the  Doukhobors. 
Veregin  In  Siberia 
From  1886  to  1898,  whilst  Verejrin 
was  In  Slb<>rla  and  the  nominal  head  of 
the  community,  communication  v.-as 
malntaln'cd  with  him  by  relays  of 
sleighs,  which  travelled  over  the  snow 
for  2000  miles.  From  his  prison  in 
exile  he  dictated  the  policy  of  his  peo- 
ple and  directed  their  movements. 
Persecution  continued.  At  one  time  11 
w(uj1(1  he  representatives  of  the  church 
who  would  initiate  proceedings  asralnst 
them;  then  officers  of  tli-e  Government, 
and  at  other  times  the  marauding  and 
raiding  Tartars.  Matters  came  to  a 
climax  on  the  night  of  June  28,  ISfiG 
when,  in  obedience  to  the  command  <if 
Veregin.  the  Doukhobors  throughout 
the  whole  of  their  settlement  made  a 
great  puldic  burning  of  their  arms, 
whlcli  brought  about  a  cr)lli»lon  with 
the  soldiery  and  cruel  treatment  !it  the 
hands  of  the  Cossacks.  After  this  the 
Doukhobors  W(»re  expelled  from  the 
villages,  scatt<Ted  throughout  the  land, 
and   deprived  of   their  property. 

These  cruelties  led  Count  Tolstoi  to 
write  a  powerful  letter  to  The  lybn- 
don  Times,  which  resulted  In  the  com- 
mencmenl  of  a  project  among  the 
Quaki'rs  in  Kngland  and  America  for 
removing  the  Duokhobors  from  Russia. 
Veregin  himself  mad-e  a  personal  appeal 
to  the  Dowager  Empress  Alexandra, 
and  with  the  assistance  of  influential 
Quakers  In  London  and  Prince  HUkov 
In  Russia,  the  Government  was  Induced 
to  yield,  and  In  1898  negotiations  were 
concluded  with  the  Canadian  Govern- 
ment by  Mr.  Aylmer  Maude  and  Prince 
Tillkov  which  resulted  In  th«lr  extra- 
dition. 

On  October  B,  1898,  the  Minister  of 
tho  Interior  signed  an  agreement  under 
which  (1)  those  responsible  for  the  Im- 
migration were  to  reoelv*  the  usual 
honu.!?  of  |5  per  adult,  children  counting 
half;  (2)  a  free  gront  of  11.60  for  each 
man.  woman  and  child  settled,  towards 
organlJ»tlon  and  transportation  ex- 
p^-nses:  (3)  the  use  of  the  Immigration 
hiflls  in  Manitoba  and  the  Northwest 
Territory  during  thf  winter  months.  In 
addition,  an  order-ln-councll  was  pass- 
ed granting  the  Doukhobors  immunity 
from  military  service.  This  order  was 
dated  December  9,  1898,  and  has  not 
been  rescinded. 

The  Society  of  Trlends  In  Rncland 
rained  $80,000.  and  tho«e  In  Phlla<*?l- 
phla  somewhere  in  the  neighborhood  of 
$40,000.  In  addition.  Count  Tolstoi  him- 
self donated  $17,000  from  the  sale  of 
his  works  and  other  friends  contributed 
smaller  amounts.  The  whole  of  this 
money  was  used  In  transporting  the 
Doukhobors  from  Russia  to  Canada.

City  Would  Not  Care  for  Dying 
Consumptive,  So  She  Sur- 
rendered Her  Pallet— Case 
Arouses  Great  Interest 


MONTREAL,  Dec.  23.— A  pitiful  case 
of  lubcrculoBls  was  reported  to  the 
medical  htaUli  officer,  Dr.  Laberge.  An 
axed  woman  called  upon  lilm,  and  stated 
that  some  weeks  ago  her  son  had 
brouKht  home  a  friend  who  was  111,  and 
wlu)  bad  to  leave  his  ■boarding  house 
b.?caLisc  of  Ills  Illness.  "X  did  not  think 
his  Illness  would  be  serious,"  said  tlio 
woman,  "when  my  son  brought  him 
home,  but  U  has  been  ascertained  that 
he  has  rapid  consumption.  We  are  very 
poor  and  I  must  ask  the  city  to  remove 
him  to  some  hos-pltal." 

"But  that  is  What  the  city  cannot 
<i0|"  said  Dr.  Laberg-e,  "as  we  Viave  no 
hospltalr  tor  tuberculosis  patients.  Tho 
city  has  rented  a  few  beds  In  the  Home 
for  Incurables,  where  about  half  a  dozen 
patients  <3an  toe  cared  for,  and  the  beds 
are  already  filled.  Fdr  years  past,  I 
have  "been  urging,  that  a  tuberculosis 
hospital  should  be  erected  In  Montreal, 
but  my  prayers  have  been  .usfeleas."

eleeplngr  on  a  table.  More  than  thim 
she  had  not  means  to  support  the  man 
any  longer. 

"He  must  be  rt?movod  at  once,"  she 
cried.  He  Is  «o  low  that  he  may  die 
at  my  house  at  any  time,  and  that 
would  be  dreadful,  as  I  cannot  bury 
him." 

"If  ho  dlfts,  the  city  can  be  forced 
to  'bury   him." 

"The  city  can  <burj'  him,  but  not

NINETY-EIGHTH 

YEAR  OF  PEACE 


Confln^«^d  from   Pan«   I. 


dorial.  confvrent*  fflat  It  favored  auton* 
omy  for  Albania  and  a  oommercial  port 
on  the  Adriatic  for  8«rvla,  every  r«ason 
for  the  Aoatrlan  mobilisation  apparently 
ban  ended.  The  failure  of  that  country 
to  demobilise  coincides  with  the  an- 
nouncement from  St  Ptlereburg  yester- 
day of  the  enforcement  of  a  drastic  cen- 
sorship of  news  of  military  affairs  in 
Russia.  The  mobilization/  b>'  Russia 
and  Austria  have  been  quite  different, 
Russia  having  called  to  the  colore  more 
men  than  Austria,  and  also  authorized 
a  different  method  in  {ratherlng  them 
together.  Early  in  November  a  draft  of 
300,000  Russians  were  due  to  finish 
their  military  training.  At  the  last  mo- 
ment, however,  they  received  orders  to 
remain  with  the  colors.  These  ordA"s 
are  etlll  In  force,  and  give  Russia  a 
margin  of  300,000  veterans.  Austria's 
mobilization  consisted  in  the  calling  of 
young  men   to  the  colors. 

The  Balkan  peace  delegates  are  serene 
as  to  the  outcome  of  their  negotiations 
with  Turkey,  but  are  watching  Austria, 
with  some  concern.  If  she  refuses  to 
demoboUze  the  allies  shortly  may  ask 
ilie    reason    for    the    delay.

Rev.  W.  H.  Roberts.  Chairman  of  the 
Kxecutive  Committee  of  the  Federal 
Council  of  the'' Church  of  Christian 
America,  wrote — The  Treaty  of  Ghent 
put  an  end  to  strife  between  brothers, 
and  ushered  in  an  ei'a  of  unbroken 
peace  and  increasing  good  will  between 
the   two  great  English-speaking  nations. 

The  Right  Rev.  C.  B.  Brewster.' 
B'ehop  of  Connecticut,  wrote — W^hat-,

may  bo,  we  know  that  th^re  never  can 
be  war  again  between  this  Republic  and 
the    XTnlted    KIn'jdom. 

President  Mackenzie,  of  Dalhousle

may  well  rejofcoe  that  she  has  been  for- 
tunate enough  to  spend  her  period  of

The  Allies  have  agreed  to  propose 
to  the  Amba-ssadorlal  Conference  the 
following  frontlftr  for  a>n  autonomous 
Albania:  .Vorth  along  the  loft  bank  of 
the  River  Orin.  leaving  a  few  miles  on 
the  left  bank  of  the  river  to  Monte- 
negro, as  it  represents  tho  only  passage 
possible  from  the  Interior  tn  the  sea. 
Tho  frontier  as  projiosed  will  follow  tho 
Drln  until  th*  White  Drin  Joins  the 
Black  Drln.  The  Baatern  frontier,  is 
marked  Iby  the  watershed  between  Al- 
bania and  Servla,  leaving  to  Servla  both 
Prisrend  and  Monastlr.  The  Southern 
frontier  conslst.s  of  a  line  practically 
.straight  from  Italiona  to  the  water- 
shed, leaving  the  town  of  Ergh^rikastro 
to    Greece. 

Tho  proposed  frontier  between  Monte- 
negro and  Servla  will  bo  along  the 
White  Drln,  leaving  DJacova  to  Monl 
tenegro  and  passing  thence  to  the 
source  of  the  River  Ibarata,  a  spot  called 
Rojas.  from  where  It  reac'nes  In  n 
straight  line  the  River  Llm,  which  con- 
stitutes the  last  part  of  th«  frontier, 
Ipnvlng  the  to\vn  of  Plevino  to  Monte- 
negro. The  Aegean  Island."?  will  g^  to 
Greece.  The  Athens  government  pledges 
the  nefttralizatlon  of  these  Islands,  de- 
siring to  guarantee  to  all  the  powers 
free  passage  and  liberty  of  commercj 
throughout     the    Archir-elago. 

Although  the  Bulgarlana  yesterday 
asked  to  bo  permitted  to  occupy  terri- 
tory on  a  line  from  Rodoeto,  on  tho  Sea 
of  Marmora,  to  Mldla,  on.  the  Black  Sea, 
it  Is  believed  they  will  be  satisfied  to 
have  the  frontier  start  from  Enoe,  a 
port  on  tho  Aegean  Sea,  and  follow  the 
Maritza  River  u  Til  It  reaches  a  point 
south  of  liule- Burgas,  and  then  but 
across  oastward  iu  Mldla.  This  11n«, 
while  It  would  not  give  Adrianople  to 
the  Bulgarians,  would  prevent'  41'  being

The  great  Episcopal  Cathedral  of  St 
John  the  Divine,  which  for  years  has 
been  slowly  rising  above  Morningside 
Melghls,  New  York,  already  has  cost 
$8,000,000,  and  it  is  estimated  that  the 
total    cost    win    be   about    110,000,000. 

The  Bight  Rev.  David  Hummer 
Greer,  Protestant  Episcopal  Bishop  of 
New  York,  Is  hopeful  that  the  gigantic 
edifice  will  be,  completed  in  his  life- 
time. Ralph  Adams  Crajn,  of  Boston, 
the  new  consulting  architect,  saye  that 
if  work  on  the  nave  Is  started  next 
spring  people  will  begin  to  realize 
within  eighteen  months  something  of 
the  vastness  of  th6  work.  They  will 
begin  to  realize  the  beauty  and  immen- 
sity of  the  completed  work,  and  will 
nee  then  the  skeleton  of  the  dreams 
of     those    who    are     its    guiding    minds. 

It  is  calculated  that  it  will  require 
foijir  years  to  complete  the  nave,  and 
as  many  years  for  the  dome  and  the 
transepts.  The  Interior  finishing  will 
take  up  another  two  years,  so  that  Mr. 
Cram  now  thinks  the  structure  can  be 
finished  in  ten  years,  and  Bishop 
Greer's   ambition    may    be   gratified. 

The  most  pretentious  ecclesiastical 
project  ever  undertaken  by  any  re- 
ligious denomination  in  this  country, 
this  structure  is  now  declared  to  be 
no  longer  a  subject  of  dissension.  The 
critical  period  that  so  long  beset  Its 
accomplishment  is  now  at  an  end.  The 
board  of  trustees  has  a  definitely  out- 
lined plan  of  action,  and  is  well 
equipped  to  carry  It  out.  The  pile  Is 
to  he  built  gradually  in  keeping  with 
stateliness   and   dignity. 

It  will  require  more  than  a  million 
dollars,  possibly  two  millions,  to  com- 
plete the  nave,  which  is  the  next  step 
that  will  be  undertaken.  One  hundred 
women  workers  of  the  Episcopal  faith 
have  pledged  themselves  to  raise  one 
million  dollar*  in  four  years  for  the 
nave  work.  Tho  money  Is  to  be  raised 
In  yearly  subscriptions  of  from  1100 
to  $500  by  each  person  Joining  what 
will  be  known  as  the  nave  fund  com- 
mittee. 

At  the  present  moment  an  enormous 
amount  of  work  is  being  done  on  and 
about  the  huge  cathedral,  but  this  Is 
not,  strictly  speaking,  a  continuation 
of    the   structure    Itself. 

In  the  cathedral  great  metal  gates 
are  being  made  to  close  off  the  en- 
trances of  the  ambulatory  of  the  choir 
from  the  nave.  A  London  firm  Is  Just 
now  completing  the  first  of  the  cleres- 
tory windows,  immediately  over  the 
altar,  and  this  will  be  In  plaoe  before 
Spring. 

The  synod  house  Is  well  under  way 
and  will  be  completed  In  time  for  the 
general  convention  of  1918.  The  choir 
school  has  been  begun  and  will  be 
completed  next  year.  Excavations  for 
the  foundations  of  the  bishop's  house 
and  the  deanery  also  have  b«»n  started. 

Of  the  Cathedral  of  St.  John  the 
Divine,  Bishop  Greer  recently  said: 

"In  my  vision  of  the  Cathedral  of 
St.  John  the  Divine,  1  see  It  In  a  great 
measure  solving  the  new  problem,  the 
grave  problem  of  the  relationship  of 
church  and  state.  The  old  Idea  of  a 
legalized  union  between  church  and 
state  Is  dead  forever.  But  there  n^ust 
be  a  union,  a  working  union  between 
what  the  nation  stands  for  and  what 
the  church   stands  for."

These  words  bring  vividly  home  to  one  the  hunian 
significance  of  that  great  scientific  truth  that  Infectious 
Diseases,  such  as  Diphtheria,  Scarlet  Fever,  Measles, 
Influenza,  and  even  comtnon  Sore  Throats,  are  caused 
by  Germs  which  attack  us  through  the  mouth  and 
throat. 

Even  the  healthiest  person  may  be  stricken  down 
unawares  through  inhaling  these  minute  organisms, 
which  lurk  -in  the  mouth  and  throat,  multiply  at  an 
astonishing  Tate,  and  infect  the  body  with  their 
poisonous  toxins.

in  the  Genkral  Practitioner  (Jnly  31st,  1909)  i — 
"Two  people,  mother  and  child,  had  been  living  in 
the  same  room  with  a  child  who  difcd  of  Diphtheria. 
They  got  Sore  Throat,  the  first  symptom  of  the  dread 
disease,  and  were  obviously  sickening  for  Diphtheria. 
Formamint  Tablets  were  prescribed ;  their  Sore  Throat 
was  cured  in  three  days,  and^bptb  escaped  infection." 

In  the  face  of  siicTi  strikiiig  evidence  it  is  not  sur- 
prising that  ]^ysicians  themselves  make  a  practice  of 
taking  Formamint  when  attending  infectious '  cases. 
When  one  considers  the  suflferiug,  anxiety  and  expense 
which  are  caused  by  these  diseases  it  is  hardly  con- 
ceivable that  anyone,  having  once  realised  the  value  of 
Wulfing's  Formamint,  would  neglect  the  simple  pre- 
caution of  always  keeping  it  in  the  house  ready  for 
instant  use.

be  done  with  certainty 
by  the  use  of  Formamint

TEBMTSTAX    PLANS 


to  the  railway  companies,  of  which  the 
Canadian  Northern  Pacific  .will  have 
thirty-four  acres  and  the  Canadian  Pa- 
cific thirty  acres.  Of  the  remainder, 
about  twenty  acres  will  be  subdivided 
Into  lots  and  .sold  to  the  public.  The 
Govemrfi-ent  will  reserve  the  whole 
waterfront  of  tlie  Ro.'^erve.  and  Will 
build  a  line  of  railway  along  it,  which 
will  bo  available  for  use  by  all  railway 
companl.'s  that  •nuiy  ciiter  the  city. 
There  will  be  a  considerable  area  avail- 
able for  warehouse  sites  uIohk  the 
waterfront.  These  sites  will  be  lettsed 
upon  equitable  terms:  but  tlie  fee  of 
the  land  will  r.'main  In  the  Crown.  Tliey 
will  be  of  exceptional  advantage,  hav- 
ing hotll  rail  and  water  facilities.  This 
will  the  more  clearly  appear  from  tho 
plan    when    It    is    published.

We  give  tills  inorninK  fa  route  map 
showing  tlie  lino  of  the  Canadian 
Northern  Pacific  I'.ailway  into  Victoria. 
Wq  had  hoped  to  bo  able  to  present 
also  the  plan  of  the  terminals  on  the 
former  Reserve;  hut  it  wa.s  impossible 
to  get  the  drawliiK  ready  in  time,  as 
it  must  be  redrawn  b;^forc  it  can  be  re- 
produced pliotogruphicali.x-.  A\'o  are 
promised  It  in  time  for  our  next  Sun-

yivr  a  full  .ie.'^criplion  of  t!)e  lermiiial.s, 
and  this  will  bo  foun<l  rl.sewher.!  in 
iithis    morniiiij's   issue. 

It  will  be  observed  from  the  route 
map  that  the  C.  N.  P.  R.  will  make  its 
ferry  ttrnUnal  at  I'nion  Bay,  which  is 
on  the  west  side  of  Saunlch  Peninsula, 
and  near  the  mouth  of  Saanieh  Inl.'t. 
Tills  poin;  l.a;i  been  chosen  because  of 
the  perfect  shelter  which  the  bay  af- 
fords. From  tho  ferry  terminal,  the 
railway  will  cross  the  Perilnsula  to 
Ba/.an  Bay,  which  is  a  little  south  of 
Sidney,  and  it  will  follow  the  low  coun- 
try, coming  out  near  the  shore  at  Cor- 
dova Ba.'i'.  It  will  lioii  paaS  ■west  Of 
Cedar  Hill,  and  lieepiug  to  the  low 
levels,  reach  the  cast  nlde  of  the  Arm  at 
Selkirk  Water,  ci-niinL;  by  way  of  Llie 
ravin*-,  over  wliicii  the  concrete  luldge 
is  being  eon.'-tructed  by  the  cily.  It 
will  cross  tile  Arm  by  v.-ay  of  i)eail- 
man"s  Island,  and  reach  tlic  former  Ke- 
serve by  its  northern  boundary,  nr.O. 
then  run  under  the  Point  IClUce  hriUi^o 
to  tlie  station,  wliieli  -.vill  be  at  the 
western  end  of  tlie  bridne  to  be  con- 
structed across  the  Harbor  from  tli<' 
foot  of  .fohnson  Street-  It  will  then 
extend  so  as  to  connect  with  wharves 
on  'the  Reserve  we.«t  of  Songhce.i 
Point.  This  is  as  far  as  the  agr-eemcnt 
made  with  the  Government  in  regftrd  to 
the  terminals  extends,  and  it  ^  all  wUli 
which  the  Government  liad  to  concern 
itself;  but  Mr.  T.  G.  Holt  stntr'd  that  !t 
was  the  intention  of  his  company  to 
extend  its  line  to  West  Bay.  It  will  oo 
oliserved  that  the  plans  of  the  com- 
ixiny,  as  far  as  tliey  liave  been  dis- 
closed, do  not  provide  for  a  line  along 
ICsquimult  Harlior:  but  it  is  not  unrea- 
sonable to  e.xpcot  that  this  will  be 
forthcoUilriK'  at  ah  wailv  uav.  The  com- 
pany's proposals,  as  far  as  they  have 
been  discussed  witli  the  Government, 
have  only  related  to  the  terminals  and 
the  entrance  into  and  exit  from  Vic- 
toria.

across  the  harbor  from  Hie  foot  of

it  will  require  only  about  twenty  sec-

tion as  it  has  developed  w«  know  we 
shall  only  do  what  our  readers  desire 
when  we  express  for  them,  as  well  as 
for  ourselves,  to  Sir  Richard  McBride 
a  deep  sense  of  appreciation  of  the 
splendid  results  -ot^j^ 


The  above  outline  of  the  plans  of 
the  Canadian  Northern  Pacific  and  the 
settlement  of  the  former  Reserve  will 
serve  to  give  the  public  some  idea  of 
the  very  difficult  nature  of  tlie  prob- 
lem, which  has  I'or  several  months  past 
been  engaging  the  attention  of  Sir 
Hichard  McBride,  .;:!il  lie  -Minister  of 
Railways.  It  will  be  seen  that,  with 
such  a  diversity  of  Interests  to  be 
considered  and  In  view  of  the  fact  that 
the  plans  to  in-  determined  .  upon  had 
to  be  made  not  only  for  the  temporary 
reriuir*  ments  of  Victoria  of  today,  but 
for  tlie  pernuinent  nted.s  of  tho  Vlo- 
totia  that  is  to  be,  the  task  was  "ex- 
ceptionally difficult.  Public  opinion 
will  btar  us  out  in  saving  liiat  it  was 
'intinltely  more -desirable  that  the  ques- 
tion should  be  disposeiJ  of  on  broad 
and  permanent  lines  than  that  It  should 
iiave  1.  ■  !i  hastily  decided,  and  we  ven- 
ture the  further  statement  that  the 
better  the  plans  are  understood  the 
more  tlieir  very  great  valui-  to  tli>-  city 
will    he    apparent.

public  well  and  .  f althf iiUy  In  what  he 
has  accomplished.  It.  has  required  no 
.slight  effort  on  lils  part  to  preserve 
through  the  long  ami  dltttcult  nogotla- 
tlons,  which  have  been  carried  on,  that 
poise  of  mind  necessary  to  ensure  re- 
sults that  would  be  commensurate 
with  the  possibilities  of  the  situation. 
Il  was  no  light  thing  to  have  to  stand 
betw-'ei)  two  powerful  corporatlonB, 
each: naturally  desirous  of  securing  the 
best  passible  terms  for  itself,  and  to 
see  that  Justice  was  done  to  both,  at 
tlie  same  time  keeping  in  mind  the  wel-

NEW  APARTMENT  HOUSE 

Mr.   H.   nam*,   of     Vanconvar,   to   Btilld 

on  the   Corner   of  Tort   Btraet 

and  Btanlar  Avanua 

Mr.  H.  Hume,  of  Vancouver,  who  is 
one  of  the  largest  realty  holders  in  tha 
city  of  Victoria,  paid  a  flying  visit 
here  yesterday,  I'avlng  again  in  the 
evening  for  his  home.  In  conversation 
with  a  representative  of  The  Colonist, 
he  announced  that  it  is  his  Intention  to 
erect  a  liandsome  apartment  house  on 
his  property  at  the  corner  of  Fort 
Street  and   .Stanley   Avenue. 

Mr.  Hume  states  that  the  building 
will  be  up-to-date  in  every  respect,  and 
w-111  cost,  when  completed  and  ready 
for    the    tenants,    |150,000. 

Speaking  of  the  growth  of  the  city, 
he  said:  "I  Invested  here  somewhat  ex- 
tensively some  years  ago,  thinking  that 
there  was  bound  to  be  a  rise  In  values; 
but  I  didn't  realize  that  the  expansion 
would  be  as  great  as  It  has  be»n  during 
, ^he  past   y?ar.      It'a.dev  t    is   not 

yet  complete — In  fact,  i  f  i  i  that  the 
next  year  will  be  even  better  than  1912 
— and  I  am  going  to  continue  to  pin 
my    faith    on    Victoria." 


Tho  marriage  of  Marie  Jocques  Cur- 
tlss  and  Mr.  Thomiis  A.  Ross,  son  of 
tleorge  Ross,  I.  S.  O.,  Chief  Post  Office 
Superintendent  of  tJanada,  of  Toronto, 
Ont.,  was  quietly  performed  In  Victoria 
on  Dccenvber  19,  1912.  at  the  parson 
age.  The  ceremony  was  .performed  by 
Rev.  C.  T.  Scott.  After  a  short  honey- 
moon Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ross  will  reside 
In   Victoria. 

Mrs.  John  Humphrey,  of  Victoria, 
who  has  been  visiting  friends  and  rela- 
ntivps    in    Ontario,    has    returned    home. 

The  First  Baptist  Parsonage  was  the 
scene  of  a  very  quiet  wedding  on  Mon- 
day, lucember  23,  when  Mis3  Evallne 
K.  Walker,  eldest  daughter  of  Mrs.  M. 
K.  Walker,  of  Sidney,  B.  C.  and  Mr. 
J.  R.  Brennan,  al»<)  of  Sidney,  were 
united  in  marriage  by  Rev.  .1.  B.  Wav- 
nicicer.  The  bride,  who  was  unattena- 
ed,  wore  her  traveling  dress  of  golden 
bown  whipcord,  with  touches  of  Ba.iy 
Irish  lace  and  Alice  Blue  velvet.  Ow- 
ing to  recent  bereavement  in  the  bride's 
family  only  immediate  relatives  were 
present.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Brennan  left  for 
S<?attle  and  other  points  south,  and  on 
their  reuirn  will  reside  at  Third  Street.

LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOR 


The  line  from  the  West  will  pass 
around  the  head  of  Portage  Inlet  and 
Join  the  line  from  the  ferry  terminal  :n 
the  nelgliborhood  of  the  junction  of 
North  Douglas  Street  and  the  Saanlch 
Read,  and  irains  over  It  will  reach  the 
station  by  the  bridge  at  Selkirk  Water. 
The  adoption  of  this  route  will  avoid 
the  neceaslty  of  sending  freight  trains, 
coming  iR  from  Ahe  "West,  to  the  ferry 
tormina!  by  way  of  this  bridge.  "WTo 
think  this  will  be  recogntr,cd  aa  a  dis- 
tinct advantage,  not  to  the  railway  com- 
pany only  In  the  case  of  freight  trains

Ill    (-onsidering    the    facts    above    set 
out,   it   is  necessary  tn  keep  In  mind   the 
great    harbor    improvement    works    that 
have   been   lnaiw?ui  a  ted.      Indeed,    the   two 
must    be     t.iken     together    If    one     would 
form    an    Uleu    of    what    the    future    has

clve    us   as    One    a    harbor  as    can    possi-

%vlll    afford,    ouglit    to    place    Victoria    In 
the    very    forefront    commerefally    speak-

ferry   systems   must   be  t-onsidered.   That 
via    the    Canadian    Northi=-iii    Pacific    has 
been     mentioned    above.       That     of     the 
Canadian    Pacific   is    to    come    in    by    way 
of  Esquimau   Harbor.      That   of   th-e   Pa-

So  Applas 

What  Interesting  reading  Is  Mr. 
Townsend's  letter  in  today's  jiaper.  Si.x 
hundred  thousand  boxes  of  apples  Im- 
ported tl'.Is  year  into  British  Columbia. 
What  can  Ik;  the  cause?  The  ranchers 
are  thinking  of  giving  up  frult-growin«. 
There  must  surely  be  some  reol  cause  for 
this  .«!tate  of  affairs.  I  wonder  If  it  is 
the  difficulty  of  marketing?  A  co-uple  of 
weeks  ago  a  grower  from  this  district 
took  one  hundred  boxes  of  apples,  Fancy 
Kings  (our  pet  apple >  to  market  In  Vic- 
toria. These  apples  were  extra  well 
graded  and  packed  for  the  Chrlsii.,»n 
market.  He  was  offered  the  very  sub- 
stantial price  of  85c  per  box.  The  cost 
of  the  box  alone  was  20c;  packing  say. 
10c;  growing.  Including  spraying  s'e\eral 
times,  say,  40c.  I''thtTik  this  is  the  real 
cause  of  tho  thou^nds  of  boxes  of  ap- 
ples lying  on  the  ground  that  Mr. 
Townsend  speaks  of.  The  grower  who 
took  this  fruit  to  market  Inquired  how 
it  was  he  could  only  get  such  a  poor 
price,  nnd  was  informed  that  "there  was 
a  slump  In  npjiles."  Apples  like  his 
were  soiling  the  Fame  day  from  Sl.T.")  to 
$2.50  per  box  in  Victoria.  Hence  the 
slump.         , 

Jh  a  grower  going  to  spray  his  orch- 
ard three  or  four  times  a  year  and  pack 
and  grade  apples  for  SRc  per  box  for 
■■|-'oncy"  aiiples  at  Christmas?  How 
about  the  No.  I's  and  .N'o.  2's  In  Septem- 
bor  and  October?  1  think  this  is  the 
one  and  only  cause  of  ranehers  "going 
out   of   the    bu.Hlness." 

As  to  spraying,  is  it  not  a  farce  for 
one  man  to  spray  his  orchard  regularly, 
whilst  his  neighbor's  is  neither  sprayed, 
liriined  nor  cultivated  for  years?  This 
li.is  been  the  case  for  three  years  in  this 
districe  and  thisties  f  -d  -othar  rubbish 
were  growing  last  summer  higher  than 
four-year-old  trees  In  a  large  orchard  In 
North  Saanlch,  which  was  once  one  of 
the  best-kept  orchards  on  the  I.-nland,  If 
not  the  best.  For  two  or  three  years  It 
has    been    an    eyesore    and    is    a 


Some  months  ago  a  regulation  was 
promulgated  forbidding  smoking  in  of- 
fices by  all  members  of  tlie  Provincial 
Civil  Service  during  business  hours.  The 
rule  provoked  much  sorrow,  but  there 
were  still  the  corridors,  etc.,  aiul  cerrl- 
dors  are  not  offices! 

Last  week  a  new  and  supolcrqentary 
gen-eral  order  went  into  effect.  It  closes 
the  corridors,  cloak  rooms  and  all  such 
parts  of  Provincial  buildings  against 
utilization  us  temples  of  the  goddess 
Nicotlnla. 

This  is  the  last  straw,  whlcli  has 
moved  one.  member  of  the  service  to 
break  forth  In  sad  lament: 

"Thou    Shalt   not    smoke.'"      Oh,    sad    the 
day 

We  hear  tlu>  stern  decree. 
One  more  commandment  to  obey; 

While   p,ll>ely   pleasures    flee. 

"Thou     Shalt     not    smoke:"         The       cry 
rings    out 
i-"ram   basement  deep  to  dorno; 
It  fol!o\<s   me   with    taunting  shout. 

Till  I  am  saPe  at  home.

And   in    the   annex    near.

And   starts   the   falling   tear.

Let   no   one    tempt   you    to   do  wron-g.

overy  section  that  a  fair  and  equitable

of  borrowing  money  over  an  extended

not be  done  on  a  sufficiently  large  «»«.*i«

suitable  in  every  way  for  the  heavy 
traffic  which  is  bound  to  find  Its  war 
over  this  highway.  The  Cost  of  the 
bridge  and  of  the  extension  of  Johnson 
Street  will,   it   Is   expected,   be   borne  by 

is     a 
which   will   have   to 
details. 

"Meanwhile,  it  is  Interesting  to  note 
that  the  Canadian  Pa<-ific  Railway 
Company  will  appropriatee  toward  the 
cost  of  th-c  bridge  structure  a  sum  equal 
in  amount  to  what  it  would  cost  them 
to  build  a  new  and  modern  railway 
bridge  where  that  in  use  by  the  'Van- 
couver  island    Division    now   stands. 

"As  to  the  waterfront  lots,  which  are, 
of  course,  the  property  of  the  Province, 
no  definite  policy  has'  as  yet  been 
adopted.  It  is,  however,  probable  that 
after  proper  subdivision  has  been  made, 
these  will  be  leased  to  applicants  upon 
favorable  and  workable  terms,  so  that 
there  may  be  no  delay  arise  In  the  i-s- 
tabllahment  of  warehouses  and  the  In- 
auguration   of   new   industries. 

"The  railway  tmcks  that  will  Imme- 
(Jiat-ply  serve  the  waterfrontage  will  be 
owned  by  the  Province  of  British  Col- 
umbia, and  may  be  made  use  of  by  all 
railway  lines  operating  In  these  parts 
upon  conditions  to  be  formuloted  and 
approved   later  on. 

Xreot  Twin  Station 
"The  arrangemerU  for  passenger  trsf- 
fic  provides  for  what  one  ma.v  term  a 
twin  station — what  will  be  to  all  In- 
tents and  purposes  a  large  and  modern 
union  station.  The  Canadian  Pacific 
and  the  Canadian  Northern  will  have 
separate  stations  under  one  roof.  Since 
the  elevartion  of  the  Canadian  Pacific 
over  the  Canadian  Northern  Pacific 
tracks  »vtll  be  somewhat  over  twenty 
feet,  It  was  found  impracticable  to  )iave 
the  same  platform  accommodation  e-rve 
both  systems.  As  a  most  feasible  aolu- 
i  tlon  of  the  problem  It  has  been  de- 
cided thai  each  shall  have  its  own 
platforms  and  ita  own  office  aceom- 
modatlona,  but  since  all  are  to  be  With- 
in the  same  four  walla  and  under  the 
one  roof,  the  result  will  be,  ao  far  as 
the  public  la  concerned,  one  large  union 
depot. 

"Tb«  plan,  too,  la  the  one  moat  ault* 
able  for  the  companies'  operations.  In 
working  out  th«  final  details,  due  pro- 
vlalon  will  be  made  so  that  other  rail- 
ways— the  Victoria,  Vancouver  it  Baat- 
ern,  the  Chicago,  Milwaukee  *  et.  Paul,

tiy  the  tracks  of  the  company;  upwards 
of  twenty-five  acres  will  be  required 
for  the  yards  of  the  pioneer  Canadian

and  comprising  upwards  of  thirty-five 
acres, 

"The  workshops  of  the  reapect-ive 
railway  companies  for  the  time  being 
will  be  situated  within  these  properties 
taken  over,  and  will  give  employment  to 
throe  or   four  Viundred   men   or  tipwards. 

"The  remainder  of  the  old  Reserve 
will  probably  be  subdivided  and  sold 
upon  reasonable  terms  Just  so  soon  ns 
the  Minister  of  Land.-)  h«J)  had  suffi- 
cient time  to  go  thoroughly  Into  the 
situation  and  decide  upon  a  course  of 
action  that  will  best  conserve  the  pub- 
lic   Interest.

"It    will    be    Of    considerable    interest 

to  citizens  of  Victoria  to  learn  that  tho 
Government  proposes  to  allot  space 
within  the  old  Reserve  for  park  or 
pleasure  grounds,  this  being  in  redemp- 
tion of  a  promise  made  to  the  city  some 
little   time  ago. 

•Surveys  will  at  once  be  inaugurated 
and  the  exact  details  of  acreage  Involv- 
ed and  all  related  conditions  authori- 
tatively ascertained,  so  that  the  work  of

while the  details  of  what  is  proposed  to 
be  done,  as  aboVttliii|iBy  related,  fairly 
well  disclose  the  ifiMl^.Of  the  negotia- 
tions Just  brought'  to  a  conclusloen.  The 
terminals  will,  of  course,  be  in  every 
way  up-to-date  and  strictly  in  line  With 
the  best  and  most  modern  railway  engi- 
ne erihg.  The  plans  prepared  by  Mr. 
Holmaii  have  been  of  great  assistance 
to  all  iiartles  concerned,  and  more  es- 
pecially to  the  Government.  The  as- 
sistance rendered  by  the  engineering 
.staff  has  also  been  very  consl<lerable, 
but  it  is  only  right  for  me  to  especially 
mark  my  ajjpreclatlon  of  the  work  of 
Mr.  D.  O.  Lewis,  chief  engineer  for  the 
Canadian  Northern  Pacific,  which  in  a 
great  measure  facilitated  the  soUitTon 
of  wliat  haa  all  along  been  a  very 
complicated  problem. 

Officials  Are  Thanked 
"Our  thanks  are  also  due  to  Sir 
Thomas  Shaughnessy  and  Mr.  Marpole, 
as  well  as  to  Sir  \\'iir:am  Mackenzie, 
Sir  Donald  Mann  and  Mr.  T.  G.  Holt. 
1  should  like  also  to  express  my  ap- 
preciation of  the  concern  displayed  in 
the  promotion  of  the  settlement  reached 
by  Mr.  Whrte,  Mr.  Gamble  and  Mr.  Cart- 
wright,  reprt^senting  respectively  the 
Canadian  Nortlwrn  Pacific  and  the 
Canadian    Pacific. 

"The  technical  side  of  the  case,  too, 
for  the  Government  has  been  wellildok- 
ed  after  by  the  Minister  of  Railways, 
Hon.  Mr.  Taylor  and  Mr.  F.  C.  Gamble, 
chief  engineer   of   the  department. 

"The  conclusion  of  the  negotiations 
with  the  results  that  have  been  outlined, 
will,  I  have  no  doubt,  be  received  with 
the  very  greatest  satisfaction  by  Vic- 
torians and  all  other  residents  of  Van- 
couver Island.  The  establishment  .of 
these  up-to-date  and  extensive  terminal, 
facilities  jneans  a  new  birth  to  the 
cl'ty  commercially,  providing  oppor- 
tunity for  expansion  as  a  business 
centre  that  Victoria  has  never  hereto- 
fore enjoyed. 

"We  can  all  look  forward  to  see  in 
1913  a  very  marked  nnd  satisfactory 
change  In  the  commercial  section  of  our 
city.  The  edvont  of  the  railroads, 
coupled  with  the  improvemeri't  of  the 
harbor  facilities,  should  virtually  revo- 
lutloniie  the  appearance  of  things  in 
this    capital. 

"I  need  hardly  say  for  the  Govern- 
ment that  we  feel  ourselves  very  for- 
tunate In  that  matters  have  moved  along 
So  well.      Those   who  are     so     ready     to 


will    mean   a    new   access    to   "Rsquimalt 

and    it    win    revolutlonine   the    future  of 
that    section    of    Greater    Victoria.

DISPOSAL  OF  FOREST  SLASH 

To     Study     Best     Methods,     Mr.    D.    S. 

Cameron   "Will  Tour  Montana 

and  Idaho 


AVIth  a  view  to  ascertaining  the  best 
methods  for  the  disposal  of  forest 
slash,  Mr.  D.  K.  Cameron,  of  Kamloops, 
has  decided  to  make  an  extensive  tour 
through  Montana  and  Idaho,  to  study 
tho  sy-ntom  in  vogue  in  those  reforest- 
atod  States, 

The  now  science  of  forest  protection 
demands  that  there  shall  be  no  accumu- 
lation of  Inflammable  debris  along 
rights-of-way,  and  it  Is  claimed  that 
Montana  and  Idaho  are  considerably  in 
advance  of  any  other  section  of  the 
Continent  in  the  economical  handling 
of    this    subject    problem. 

Mr.  Camerons'  report  should  be  of 
considerable  value  to  the  Provincial  au- 
thorities in  enabling  thom  to  ascertain 
and  utilize  the  cheapest  method  of  pro- 
tecting the  British  Columbia  forests  in 
this    particular   connection.

N.    P.    to    raise    the    west    end    of    Point 
Ellice  Bridge  about  six   feet.     This   will 
enable   two    more   spans   to   be   added    to 
the  bridge  and  raising  the  general  traf- 
fic  and     highway      above     the     railway 
tracks      It  will  also   have  the  effect  of 
greatly    improving    the    gradient    of    the 
road   at    the  west   end   of   the   bridge. 
Can   Bandle  700   Oars 
The    Canadian    Northern    Pacific    ter- 
minals,   which,   as    shown    on    the  plans, 
are   to   the   north    of   the   bridge,    can    be 
developed    ho    as    to    handle    700   cars,    a 
capacity  which  is  equalled  by  few  rail- 
way  terminals   in    America   In    their   in- 
fancy.    Tho  company  proposos  to  build 
car    shops,    machine    shops,    locomotive 
shops,    store    sheds,     coal     chutes     and 
sand-handling  plant.      "There   is  a  little 
space    on     the     map     bolow     the    Point 
KUIce  Brldgo  and  the  arei  set  aside  for 
industrial    sites    on    which    we    hope    to 
locate     a     coal-handling     plant,     which 
will  be  equal,  If  not  superior,  to  any  In 
America,  because  we  will  have  tho  rail 
and    water   together    with    ample    space 
in    whlfcb    to    avail    ouraolvea    of    each. 
The  frolght  yards  will  also  have  a  road- 
wky  and  a  team  track  Into  the  freight 
ahoda   on    the   laral."

ftnn>baJBlBcKta  that  by  the  new  bridge  tho 


The  Marine  Department  steamers 
have  returned  to  the  city  in  time  for 
the  holidays.  The  Nawington.  Captain 
Barnes,  Is  back  from  a  fishery  protec- 
tion cruise  to  tho  north  end  of  the 
Island,  which  has  extended  for  a  month. 

The  Leobro,  Captain  Hunter,  has 
tioen  attending  to  buoys  on  the  West 
Coast  and  in  the  vicinity  of  Prince  Ru- 
pert, on  which  service  she  has  been 
for   the   last   two    months. 

Tho  Quadra,  Captain  Macpherson,  has

livering supplies  and  stores  to  light- 
houses and  recharging  heaconrf  along 
the  Coast  as  far  north  aa  Quaan  Char-

All  the  boats  bring  word  of  severe 
storms  around  the  shores  of  the  Island.

NEW  YORK,  Deo.  J4. — 'BYita  Krala- 
ler,  one  of  the  greatest  living  violin- 
ists, may  be  compelled  to  lay  down  the 
fiddle  and  the  bow  and  march  off  to 
war.  A  few  days  ago  he  received  an 
official  notification  from  the,  Austrian 
Government  to  be  in  readineaa  to  re- 
spond to  a  call  to  arma. 

Baroness  Bertha  von  Suttner  told  an

warning  sent  toy  Austria  to  the  vio- 
linist. She  declared  that  mortJlHaatlon

or  leas  openly  In  preparation  for  the 
invasion  of  Servla.  If  that  acUon  afhould

"Among  the  terrlfcle  effecta  of  the

PailCY  OF  PATIENCE 

WITH  DOUKHOBORS 


OoBtfanod   from   Vftfo   a 


dfath.  But  they  never  lost  heart 
Lacking  horsea  an<l  teaiiiij,  tho  women 
turned  to  and  hauled  the  plough  and 
sutittcred  llie  seed,  wliile  their  h  un- 
hands and  BOns  went  out  to  work  on 
railway  construction  to  earn  a  r«w 
dollars. 

Much  has  been  made  of  tho  fact  that 
the  women  undertook  Buch  unwomanly 
labor,  and  the  clrcumatance  has  been 
commented  upon  to  thoir  disadvantage, 
but  in  Justice  to  them  It  should  be  re- 
membered that  they  only  did  It  In  the 
early  days  of  their  settlement,  at  a 
time  when  Htarvatioii  stared  them  In  the 
face    and     there    were    no    other    means 


on  leaving.  Bomo  h«v«  boon  p«i4; 
Peter  V«rogln  announoed  during  tho  m»- 
aulry  that  all  would  be  paid  whon  tlio 
Community  waa  In  11  pooltion  to  oparo 
tho  money,  whtofi  at  preoent  he  re- 
quired to  complete  poytnei^ts  for  land 
and  to  meet  other  obligations  which 
had  been  incurred  In  the  common  In- 
tereet.  There  were  «nly  two  or  threu 
men  who  had  left  the  Community  who 
were  not  satlsHed  with  thia  promise. 
MoBt  of  them  expreeaed  their  belief 
that  Pet«r  Veregln  would  keep  hl« 
word. 

Other  objectlona  were  put  forward 
by  th^  Grand  Forks  citlsens.  Flret, 
that  the  Doukhobora  by  reavon  of  thelt 
large  land  holdings  would  ewamp  the 
community.  The  report  does  not  agree 
with  this  conclusion,  pointing  out  that 
their  total  holdings  form  a  very  small 
percentage    of    the    available    fruit    land 


aviillabU;    for    cultivating    the    land,   und   j    in    the   Orand    Forks   District,    als^o    that 

It  is  not  now  possible  to  bring  In  many 
more  Doukhohors  to  British  Columbia, 
as  there  are  only  about  2,500  left  In 
Sasktachewan.  The  total  number  of 
Doukhobors  In  the  Grand  Forks  dis- 
trict   i.s    upwards   of   seven    hundred. 

Second,  rtiat  It  is  objectionable  that 
any  sect  living  within  our  borders 
sliould  be  allowed  to  subordinate  tho 
luwH  of  the  Province  to  their  own  re- 
UkIous  beliefs.  This  la  conceded,  and, 
indeed,  the  work  of,  the  Commi.ssion 
was  df-.slgned  to  secure  the  l)est  means 
of  bringing  apout  compliance  with 
iliese  !aws,  and  on  this  point  <H>rtain 
lieflnlte   recommendation.s   are   made. 

Tiiird,  objections  to  the  pefiiliar  niar- 
riuge  ceremony  of  the  Doiikhohor;-,  and 
fear  tlial  it  led  to  immorality.  On  this 
point  tho  report  is  very  clear  that  no 
evidence  wa.s  adduced  or  could  be  un- 
earthed which  would  sustain  the  ob- 
"'Jecnon'^  ~  '  '    " 


ensuring    food    for    the   next  season. 

Another  circumstance  whicii  has 
done  much  to  bring  the  Doukhobors 
Into  disrepute  and  to  create  a  wrong 
imjireHsion  obout  them  was  the  unfor- 
tunate ■■pilgrimage"  near  Yorkton  in 
1890.  (.)ti  tills  occasion  several  liundred 
ttoiililiobors  were  induced  by  a  fanatic 
to  aliandon  their  lionies  and  murch  out 
unclotiied  across  liie  snowy  i)ralries  on 
a  reliffloiis  pilgrimage  in  quest  '  of 
Christ,  it  was  a  purely  fanatical  pro- 
ceedlnfr.  IndulKcd  In  by  a  very  small 
number  and  condemned  by  the  vast  ma- 
jority of  the  community;  but  It  was 
taken  as  a  repre.Mentatlve  act,  whicli  It 
was  not,  and  has  never  sln<ie  been  re- 
luaU'd,   nor  is  it   likely   to  be. 

By  this  time  tlie  Canadian  Covern- 
mont  had  bepun  to  be  afraid  tliat  tiiere 
might  be  serious  trouble  with  the  Douk- 
hobors. The  vagaries  in  which  the  few 
i  1 1 '  1 1 1 1 K .  d  was  taken  to  Indicate  the  pos- 
Hibility  that  the  whole  7000  m!.i<ht  re- 
sort to  similar  practices.  Consetiiiently 
negotiations  were  opened  with  tlie  Rus- 
.sian  .Government  to  liberate  Peter  "Ver- 
esin  from  his  exile  in  Siberia  before  the 
expiration  of  his  term  of  imprisonment. 
Tlit^  same  lilRh  autlioritles  again  lent 
tlicir  a.ssisiance,  and  he  was  liberated 
and  arrived  in  Canada  In  1900,  at  once 
assumln.if  control  of  the  community. 
From  tills  time  on  there  were  no  fur- 
ther troubles  of  the  kind  wliicli  had 
been  so  eml)arrassing  to  the  Govern- 
ment.    The  noukhobors  settled  seriously 


Fourili,     It     was    olijected       that       tlie 
presence    of    Doukliohors   would    tend    to 
keep    out    desirable     settlers,     to     retard 
development      and       to    depreciate    land 
values.     On   tills   point  the  report  Is  em- 
phatic  that  many  large  property-owners 
with    fruit-land    adjoining    those    of    the 
Doukhobors,    and    some    of    them    living 
on   their   own   land,   <llsagr<;ed   with   these 
views,    and    maintained    tliat    the    object 
lesson    afforded    by    the    splendid    system 
of   cultivation   and    the   results   achieved 
,    hy       the      Doukliobors    more    than    out- 
to    the   buHine.^s   of    farming:    tliey    built   j    welshed    any   disadvantages.      It   is   also 
I    houses.      made      their      own      furniture,  ]    pointed    out    that 


poured  all  their  wealth  as  fast  as  It 
accumulated,  whether  produced  on  the 
land  or  whetlier  on  the  outside,  into 
tlie  community  treasury,  and  became 
prosperous    and    contented.

Cloud   on   the    Horizon 

Tlien  a  cloud  appeared  on  ilic  lioriKon. 
Public  opinion  throughout  Canada  iiad 
been  aroused  by  tlieir  peculiar  prac- 
tices, liad  investigated  the  conditions  of 
their  admission,  and  had  clearly  in- 
dicated disapproval  of  the  exemption 
from  military  service  and  the  persistent 
refusal  of  tiic  Doukhobors  to  becpme 
naturalized  Britisli  subjects.  Tliey  had 
always  maintained  that  they  would  not 
become  naturalized;  ibey  would  not 'lie- 
come  the  citizens  of  any  country,  but 
remain    citizens    of    llie    world. 

Sxek   to    a   Strange   I>and 

Once  again  at  the  biddins  of  their 
leader  tliey  were  goins  out  to  a  land 
which  tliey  knew  not.  except  that  the 
spies  had  brought  a  good  report.  While 
those  who  read  this  report  know  that 
so  far  as  material  conditions  and  sur- 
roundings are  concerned  they  were  go- 
ing to  a  more  congenial  clime  and  to 
better  prospects,  it  was  Impossible  to 
suppress  a  feeling  of  profound  sym- 
pathy for  a  people  so  often  and  so 
sorely    tried. 

Chapter  V,  dealing  with  the  Doukho- 
•bors  In  British  Columbia,  is  a  lengthy 
on.'.  it  tells  iiou-  tliey  111  st  ucciuircd  a 
few  hundred  acirs  of  land  on  the 
hanks  of  tho  Columbia  Itivtr,  near  the 
old  Waterloo  i;old  mliu,  und  liow  this 
process  has  continued  until  at  tlic  dale 
of  the  report  tiity  had  purchased  a, 
total  of  14,403  acres  at  a  cost  of  |646,- 
017  and  had  cslabli.^hed  four  large  set- 
tlements at  Brilliant,  Glade,  Pass 
Creek  and  Grand  I'orks.  The  photo- 
Kraidis  accompanying  the  report  show 
u  remarkable  degree  of  land  clearing 
and  cultivation,  and  it  is  the  opinion  ! 
of  tlie  managers  that  cultivation  has 
readied  such  a  stage  that  from  now  on 
the    community    will    be    self-supporting. 

In  addtion  to  land  clearing  and  cul- 
tivation, water  works  and  electric  light 
systems  have  been  established  at  Bril- 
liant, saw  mills  have  been  erected  on 
all  tlie  settlements,  a  very  successful 
brick  works  plant  is  in  operation  at 
Grand  Froks,  and  a  jam  factory  has 
been  purchased  from  the  Kootenay  Pre- 
serving Company  at  Nelson  and  is  be- 
ing operated.  Tho  evidence  goes  to  show 
that  in  all  their  business  relations  the 
Doukhobors  have  been  found  satisfac- 
tory. The  largest  wholesalers  and  the 
leading  banks  are  glad  t-o  do  business 
with  them,  and  no  more  favorable  teis- 
Umony  could  b€  desired  than  that  fur- 
nished by  Mr.  Patrick  Burns,  head  of 
the  well-known  flrm  of  P.  Burns  & 
Company,  and  Mr.  J.  S.  C.  Fraser,  for 
many  j-ears  manager  of  the  Bank  of 
Montreal    at    Rossland. 

The  bulk  of  the  evidence  given  dur- 
ing the  investigation  is  favorable.  The 
adverse  evidence  may  be  briefly  sum- 
htarized  as  follows:  Objections  by  in- 
dependent  Doukhobors  who  have  left 
the  community  that  they  could  not 
obtain  medical  attendance,  that  they 
were  tired  of  the  restrictions  of  com- 
munal life,  and  that  since  l«aving  th^jr 
had  been  unable  to  obtain  a  settlement 
for  their  ahare  of  th^  community  prop* 
erty. 

The  flrst  compl&lnt  ha:s  some  founda- 
tion, for'  there  Is  no  doUbt  that  tho 
leaders  dttwouraved  medical  atten<Ianee, 
havlntr  no  oonndcnce  In  thedloal  men, 
and  teaching  and  believing  that  they 
can  themselves  nurse  their  aiok. 

The  second  9roun<l  of  complaint  calls

The  moot  of  the  Tronblo 

The  unfortunate  failure  of  the  Douk- 
liobars  to  comply  with  the  registration 
laws  and  the  Schools  Act  has  been  at 
the  root  of  all  the  trouble  that  has 
arisen  with  them  in  this  Province.  To 
understand  this  It  Is  necessary  to  study 
their  religious  beliefs,  which  He  at  the 
root  of  all  the  opposition.  These  are 
dealt  with  at  great  length  in  an  entire 
chapter,  showing  briefly  that  calling 
themselvew  "Spirit-Wrestlers,"  they 
Mr.  Frank  Oliver,  the  new  Minister  of 
the  Interior,  who  had  succeeded  Mr. 
Sifton,  plainly  told,  Peter  Veregln  that 
thet  Doukhobora  would  have  to  become 
naturalized.  T\\ey  refused.  MeanwlilU-. 
to  add  to  the  complication,  there  had 
been  a  lot  of  trouble  abont  Homestead 
entries.  Peter  Veregln  had  entered  for 
a  large  number  "en  bloc.''  The  Gov- 
ernment insisted  that  individual  entries 
sltould  be  made,  as  required  by  the 
I>om!nion  Land  Laws.  The  upshot  was 
that  after  a  long  and  acrlnjonoue  dis- 
pute a  land  commissioner  was  ap- 
pointed, gross  irregularities  in  the 
Homestead  entries  were  discovered;  all 
entries  were  canceled,  and  all  Doukho- 
j  bors  who  refused  to  become  natural- 
I  ized  British  subjects  were  deprived  of 
!  tlieir  homestead,  Imt  were  allowed  to 
j  settle  on  fifteen  acres  of  land  for  each 
j    member   of   a    family. 

j  Then  came  a  serious  split  in  the 
{  Community.  L'pwards  of  tme  thousand 
j  accepted  tlie  offer  of  the  Government, 
took  their  homestead  of  160  acres,  left 
the  Poukiiobor  Community,  made  indi- 
vidual entries,  and  became  naturalized 
British    subjects. 

This  was  a  serious  blow  to  the  Douk- 
hobor  Community  and  to  Its  leader.  It 
meant  not  only  the  breaking  away  from 
communal  life,  hut  the  establishment 
of  the  Idea  of  individual  holdings,  a 
thing  unknown  In  Uusaia  and  Incon- 
ceivable to  Doukhobor  minds  until  It 
was  demonstrated  in  Canada.  From  this 
moment  maj-  bo  said  to  date  the  de- 
termination of  Peter  Veregln  to  move 
the  Community  to  some  other  Province 
where  conditions  would  be  more  favor- 
able for  continuing  the  Community  life 
and  less  subject  to  the  dlalnteratlng  in- 
fluences which  had  now  begun  to  oper- 
ate In  Saskatchewan.

For  not  only  was  the  Community 
weakened  by  the  defection  of  the  thou- 
sand Doukhobors  who  established  indl-' 
vidual  ownership,  but  a  few  others  left, 
having  enriched  themselves  at  the  ex- 
pense of  the  Community  and  :having 
proved  faithless  to  their  Community 
vows.  .A.11  this  happened  about  five 
years  ago,  and  a  year  and  a  half  later 
Peter  Veregln  had  secured,  by  private 
purc'hase.  his  first  land  holdings  In 
British  Columbia  and  had  moved  the 
first  Instalments,  two  thousand  of  his 
people. 

It  Is  Intereating  at  this  point  to  note 
that  the  people  of  Saskatchewan  have 
long  since  forcotten  or  over1<»vked  the 
peculiarities  of  the  new-comers  of  1M8. 
The  Commissioner  found  no  difference 
of  opinion  whatever  among  Canadian 
farmers  and  reoidents  as  to  the  htfTi 
personal  character,  the  kinilnesa,  hoa- 
pltallty.  dodllty  and  peacable  nature  «t 
the  Doukhobors,  and  there  was  a  cen- 
tral chorus  of  'regret  when  It  waa 
known  that  they  were  mpvln*  away.

About  fifty  charming  new- 
gowns  just  unpacked  yesterday; 
fortunate,  indeed,  for  it  affords 
fashionable  Victorians  an  unre- 
stricted selection  for  the  coming 
mid-Winter  social  functions. 

Through  the  efforts  of  our  Eu- 
ropean buyers  they  were  fortun- 
ate in  procuring  these  at  much  less 
than  usual  prices;  therefore  we 
can  offer  you  these  beautiul  crea- 
tions at  from  thirty  to  forty  per 
cent  savings. 

Commerncing  Thursday,  we 
have  priced  these  from  '    ^ 


$50  to  $95 

These  comprise  the  creme  of 
production  from  Fashion's  most 
acknowledged  centres.

NEXT  YEAR'S  SHOW 


Committee    of    Agricultural    Assooiatlon 

at   Work   on   Flan   for   Improvement 

— Beautlficatlon    of    Oronuda 


Following  up  th'e  suggestions  made  at 
the  recent  meeting  of  tlie  British  Co- 
lumbia Agricultural  Association,  the 
building  committee  of  that  body  have 
lost  no  time  In  going  over  the  grounds 
of  the  Kxhibitlon  and  planning  the  alter- 
ations .  and  iinprov.iim.iin  13  -  that  are  to 
b«  made  preparatory  to  the  holding  of 
next   year's   siiow. 

Tho  success  of  tliat  held  in  1912  was 
good  proof  ttiat  support  will  not  be 
lacking  on  the  part  of  the  public  if  a 
really  first-class  exhlibltlon  Is  provided, 
and  the  executive  of  the  association 
ure,  thenefoi'w^,  enabled  to  |ro  uhead 
witli    confidence. 

The  iiolo  ground  Is  to  be  leveled  in 
order  to  ensure  a  belter  playing  surface, 
more  shrubs  are  to  be  planted  and  the 
view  of  the  grounds,  that  catches  the 
visitor's  eye.  on  entering,  much  Im- 
proved. 

To  what  extent  the  plan  of  the  pres- 
ent buildings  will  be  altered  before  the 
next  exlilbitlon  has  not  at  present  'been 
decided,  as,  of  crourse,  tlie  time  avail- 
able for  completing  any  .scheme  before 
the  openinjt  date  of  the  sliow  has  to

Xiaat  Evanlny 


One  of  the  most  pleasing  Incidents 
on  the  streets  last  night  was  the  sing- 
ing of  a  S'ct  of  West  Country  carols 
by  the  members  of  the  Cornlshmen's 
rjoclety. 

They  were  led  by  Mr.  J.  Collins,  with 
the  aid  of  Mr.  F.  Donne's  clarionet, 
and  the  crowd  who  gathered  round  them 
on  View  Street  enjoyed,  and  showed 
they  enjoyed  by  staying  to  the  end, 
six  carols  set  to  music  hy  Thomas 
Mcrrltt. 

To  the  West  of  England  men  In  the 
crowd  It  ^Imibtless  recalled  many  a 
midnight  tramp  from  farm  house  to 
farm  house  across  the  moors,  and  the 
warm  welcome  their  inhabitants  had 
ready  for  them,  winding  up  with  a  visit 
to  the  rectory  and  the  Squire's  house 
In    the   early    morning   hours. 

The  carols  sung  Included  "Angelic 
Hosts,"  "I-o!  He  Com«»B."  "An  Infant 
Stranger"  and  "Hark  the  Glad  Sound." 


Malakwa  and  Arrow  LAkes  Conserva- 
tive Associations  have  unanimously  en- 
dorsed the  claims  tof  Mr.  Thomas  Kll- 
patrlck  to  a  seat  in  the  Canadian  Senate.

EVERY   reputable   Real   Estate   dealer 
is  in  hearty  sympathy  witli  the  effort 
n(»\v  being  made  to  warn  ])Cople  in 
England  as'ainst  foolish  real  estate  specula- 
tion. 


The  man  who  invests  in  a  pre 
cannot  see,  should  first  of  all  obtain  an  inde- 
pendent opinion  from  an  expert  source  and 
should  make  cvcTy-^-possiblc  enquiry  before 
parting  with  his  money. 

Here,  in  the  West  and  in  this  City,  people 
are  in  closer  touch  with  profitable  invest- 
ment opportunities,  and  we  do  not  hesitate 

to  say  that  a  personal  inspection  of  the  prop- 
erties we  mention  from  day  to  day  in  this 
space  w'ill  convince  the  most  con.servative  in- 
vestor that  the  properties  in  qtiestion  may 
be  purchased  upon  an  extremely  favorable 
basis,  make  the  fortunate  investor  a  most 
substantial  profit,  and  result  in  an  everlast- 
ing friendly  feeling  towards  this  office. 

We  wish  our  many  friends  and  clients  a 
Merry  Christmas  and  a  most  happy  and

LONDON.  Dec.  24.— Kitty  Marlon,  an 
actress,  was  sentenced  yesterday  in  the 
Bow  Street  Court  to  a  month's  Im- 
prisonment with  the  option— which  she 
tndiarnantly  refused — of  payinR  $125 
fine  for  giving  a  false  alarm  of  fire. 
The  magistrate  made  the  sentence  ex- 
ceptionally severe  because  of  the  large 
number  of  such  outrages  recently  per- 
petrated    hy    Buffragettes. 

Miss  Marlon  made  a  statement  in 
court  throwing  a  curious  light  upon 
the  working  of  the  suffragette  mind. 
Three  years  ago,  she  said,  she  appeared 
in  the  Bow  Street  Court  on  a  charge 
of  breaking  a  window.  She  did  that, 
she  said,  in  order  to  attract  public  at- 
tention to  the  oonditiuns  of  the  blage, 
which  made  it  almost  impossitilo  for  a 
woman  to  earn  an  lionest  living.  It  was 
the  unwritten  law  that  a  woman  who 
wanted  to  go  straiglU  could  not  make 
her  way  on  the  stage.  .She  chal- 
longed  the  Actors"  Association  to 
deny  the  trulli  of  hor  Hlatemonts.  .Since 
then  she  ha<l  been  iiraotically  boycotted 
out  of  the  iirofession  and  had  been  ob- 
liged to  turn  to  otiier  employment.  .She 
got    work   as  a   domestic   servant. 

"All  wont  well."  ,'ghe  continued,  "till

lendeil  to  make  a  much  stronger  protest

self    with    metapiiorlcally      turning    the

Scientists  Have  Found  Out 
That  Oil  IVIay  Be  Extracted 
—Probable  That  Works  Will 
Be  Established  Near  Cardiff 


LONDON,  r>(-<.-.  2.'!. — Our  large  coal  re- 
sources constitute  one  of  the  import- 
ant factors  in  the  maintenance  of  Brit- 
ish   naval    supremacy.      The   old   saying, 

•'Wc'-VO  jful  i'livr.  Biilpo,  ^'S'TC  sst  the 
UK II,  we've  sot  the  money  too,"  doea 
not  complete  the  list  of  wlial  a  great 
naval  power  requires,  for  fuel  is  In 
every  way  ju.st  u.s  iif.portant.  lU'cenily 
the  value  ot  oil  fuel  for  steam-driven 
\  e.ssels  has  been  ami'ily  demonstrate<i, 
find  our  great  coar  resources.  It  would 
appear,  do  not  giya  us  such  a  great  ad- 
vantage as  we  imagine.  If  wc  have 
plenty  of  coal,  other  nations  have 
plenty  of  oil.  But  It  seem*,  after  all, 
that  large  coal  supplies  are  of  the  ut- 
most value,  because  science  has  now 
di.ocnvered  that  it  is  possible  to  distil 
oil  from  I'oai.  iind  there  are  now  indi- 
calloiis  that  the  seaboard  In  the  neigli- 
hnrhood  of  Cardiff  is  likely  to  see  the 
e.stablishment  cf  a  great  new  Industry 
for   the  extraction  of  oil   fuel  from  coal. 

The  new  fuel  will  be  in  the  form  of 
benzol,  a  spirit  which  has  been  tested 
arid  proved  to  be  highly  advantageous 
in  use.  With  petrol  controlled  hy  a 
trust,  which  is  credited  with  pressing 
the  prices  to  an  extravagant  height, 
there  has  been  continuous  Inquiry  for 
an  effective  .'Substitute,  and  this,  ap- 
parently, is  furnished  by  benzol.  In 
one  of  the  Midland  areas  a  manufac- 
tory has  already  been  established,  atul 
a  vast  quantity  of  high-grade  motor 
spirit  has  been  produced  of  tlie  bgnzol 
type,  but  Its  exact  constituents  are  not 
known  except  that  It  is  a  pure  spirit 
said  to  have  considerably  higher  ther- 
mal energy  than  petrol.  In  Germany, 
also,  the  extraction  of  oil  fuel  from 
coal  is  boing  carried  on  very  success- 
fully, and  It  is  conclusively  manifest 
that  the  work  is  (Irmly  establish  .'0 
upon  a  commercial  basis.  Some  time 
ago  the  distinguished  inventor  of  the 
Diesel  engine  declared  that  Great 
Britain  had  :n  its  coal  firiua  5U~:cl«nt 
oil  for  all  Us  requirements;  and  Mr. 
Gilbert  Redgrave  has  pointed  out  that 
we  are  entering  upon  a  new  era  In 
dealing  with  coal,  particularly  of  the 
coking  coals.  Increased  care  is  being 
manifested  over  the  residual  products, 
greatly  to  th«  profit  of  colliery  own- 
ers. What  ha.s  now  to  be  aimed  at 
is  tliat  the  coklug  ovens  should  (In- 
stead of  being  so  worked  as  to  yield 
tar  oil  laden  with  the  nitch  clement) 
be  worked  In  order  to  produce  thn 
lighter  and  more  valuable  oils.  Mr. 
Redgrave  states  what  Is  required  Is 
an  oil  to  compete  satisfactorily  with 
the  Imported .  article,  and  this  can  be 
obtalnod  by  distilling  coal  at  a  lower 
temperature  than  that  which  Is  usual 
with  coke  ovens.  The  oil  produced  is 
superior  In  quality,  resembling  petro- 
leum rather  than  pitch  tar  oil. 

British  coals  wtU  yield  from  seven  tt) 
thirty-five  per  cent  of  their  own  weight 
In  valuable  oils;  so  that  It  Is  demon- 
stratedf  that  the  way  is  open  to  freedom 
from  the  exaoUoMs  of  monopolisttg 
petroleum  trusts.  Other  by-products, 
such  as'  sulpttiate  of  ammonia,  which  Is 
of  such  hlfh  value  In  agricultural 
operations,  woujd  be  made  in  the

German  Court  Revives  Defunct 
Law  in  Persecution  of  the 
Jesuits — Press  Opinions  Call 
It  Reversion  to  Barbarism 


BERLIN,  Dec.  23. — The  Federal  Coun- 
cil has  rendered  a  tlccislon  with  regard 
to  the  Bavarian  motion  about  the  in- 
terpretation of  the  still  unrepealed 
article  of  the  Imperial  law  forbidding 
the  corporuie  activity  of  members  of 
the  Society  of  Jesus.  The  Bavarian 
Government  in  blarch  last  lusued  a 
rescript  which  permitted  a  lenient  ad- 
ministration  of    the   law. 

Tlie  unrepealed  clause  forbids  the 
niember.H  of  the  (JrUer  of  Jesus  to  ex- 
ercise the  functions  of  their  order  in 
Germany.  A.s  the  prohibition  was  in- 
terpreted differ-eiiily  In  various  Ger- 
man States,  Bavaria  requested  the 
Federal  Council  to  give  an  authorita- 
tive definition  of  the  "Ordeiisthatlg- 
keif '  The  definition  was  asked  ■  for 
wlven  the  CatlioUc  Party  obtained  a 
majority  in  the  Bavarian  elections, 
and  Baron  HertUng,  hitherto  the  lead- 
er of  the  Centre  party  in  the  Reich- 
stag,   was    appointed    Prime    Minister. 

The  auihorltatlve  deflnltlon  just  laid 
down  by  the  Federal  Couiicll  Is  a  vic- 
tory    for    Dr.     von     Belhmann-Ho^lweg, 


who  undoubtedly  feel.s  lliat  he  has  a 
majority  In  tliC  empire  behind  him. 
■\Vliat  is  forbidden  to  members  of  the 
Order  of  Jesus  by  law  is,  according  to 
this  dcllnltion,  the  exercise  of  priest- 
ly or  other  religious  ministrations  to- 
wards those  outside  the  order  and  the 
giving  of  Instruction.  This  latter  pro- 
hibition Is  a  great  blow  to  the  friends 
of  the  order,  because  in  many  cases 
It  wa.s  believed  that  the  law  permitted 
Jesuits  to  give  secular  instruction. 
What  is  not  forbidden,  according  to 
the  definition,  is  the  reading  so-called 
still  masses  within  the  family  circle, 
th<>  administration  of  extreme  unction, 
and  the  delivery  of  scientific  lectures 
which  do  not  touch  religious  matters. 
Literary  activity  Is  not  forbidden  to 
tlie  Jesuits.  The  .sole  concession  made 
by  tlte  Federal  Council  is  an  announce- 
ment that  the  Jesuits  may  deliver  lec- 
tures or  read  papers  publicly  on  secu- 
lar  subjects. 

The  newspapers  point  out  that  only 
the  V'iiramontane  section  of  tlie  Ro- 
man Catholics  dl.sapprove  of  the  Fefl- 
erni  Cour.cil's  deflni'io":  and  very  many 
influential  Roman  Catlvolics  have  from 
time  to  time  expressed  a  desire  that 
the   Jesuit   law   may   not   be   repealed. 

The  Germania,  the  leading  organ  of 
ttie  Centre  pai-ty,  declares  that  not 
only  In  all  civilized,  but  in  semi-civi- 
lized countries,  a  feeling  of  pity,  will 
be  entei-tained  for  an  empire  in  which 
in  present  circumstances  such  a  deci- 
sion Is  possible',  and  It  anticipates  that 
the  criticism  of  Roman  Catholic  people 
will  sound  anything  but  pleasantly  In 
the  ears  of  the  Federal  Council.  A  cry 
of  indignation  will.  It  says,  be  raised 
hy  the  Roman  Catholic  section  of  the 
population,  which  will  not  be  allayed 
until- the   whole   Jesuit   law    is   repealed. 

What  influence  tlie  definition  will 
have  on  the  attitud*  of  the  Centre 
party  In  the  Reichstag  remains  to  be 
seen.  It  is  already  hinted  that  the 
Chancellor  will  ho  interpellated  on  the 
subject  and  in  a  form  which  will 
amount  to'a  vote  of  lack  of  confidence. 
It  is  also  more  than  probable  that  the 
whole  Socialist  party  will  support  the 
Centre  in  such  action  on  the  principle 
that  all  exceptional  laws  are  unjustifi- 
able   and    objectionable.

women  who  carry  loving  hearts  in  their 
bosoms.     wh')se     lives     must     be     lived 
apart    from    the    love    and    protection    of 
liu.sbandR  and   tlie  affection  of  sons  and 
daughters.      In    every   age    of    the    worlrl 
s\irli    women    have    found    work   for   tiusy 
hands  and  tender  hearts.      In   the  middle 
ages,    and    to    ,<?onie   extent    in      o\ir   own, 
thoy    voluntarily    set    thomsolvc.s    apart 
from    the  world    and    devoted    their   U\os 
to    works    of    piety,    !norc.v  and    charity. 
I.,eaininK    found     shelter     In     their    con- 
vents,   and    the    .sick    were    their    .si>ociaI 
charge.       Sisterhoods     in     the     twentieth 
century   still   carry   on    this  work  and    In 
rrotostant      communities       nurses      and 
teachers   are    ministers    to    the   sick    and 
to  the  young.     In  the  great  cities  thou- 
sands   of   such    woman   go   about   among 
the   poor  and    the   wicked.      They   succor 
ti;o  little  children,   they   make  homes   fit 
for    people    to    live     in.     they    visit     the 
prisons,   and   help  and    comfort   the  hope- 
loss    and    the    sinful.      In    countless    in- 
Ktancos   such   women  are  the  support   of 
aged  parents  ami  helpless  Invalids.  They 
are  the     heads     of     institutions     which 
guard    the    safety    of    young    girls,    and

we  keep  the  birthday  of  Him   whom   wo

Booka  for  ChUdran 
Christmas  buying  is  nearly  over  and 
tho  writer  has  only  had  time  to  peep 
into  an  article  which  should  hav?  been 
circulated  through  the  homos  in  Vic- 
toria a  month  ago.  Its  title  is.  "C:hil- 
dren  and  Olympians."  and  It  appears  in 
tho  December  number  of  The  University 
Magassino.  Its  author  is  Mr.  G.  Cook, 
evidently  a  lover  of  children  as  well  au 
a  lovor  of  literature.  Still,  at  t4ie 
eleventh  hour,  the  advice  given  may 
help  some  searcher  to  find  a  good  book 
or  to  reject  a  worse  than  worthless  one. 
At  some  other  time  opportunity  will  be 
taken  to  tell  how  this  writer  considers 
fathers  and  mother?  can  best  impart  a 
love  of  literature  to  very  young  chil- 
dren. On  tho  subject  of  books  to  be 
given  as  presents   the  writer  says: 

"To    go    through    the    bookshops,    par- 
ticularly   at  Christmas   time,   Is    to   long 
for  a  censor   of   children's   books,   aomo- 
ono  with   the  voice  of  authority   to  pro- 
to.st  offoctually  against   the  quantity  of 
rubbish,  ugllnuss,  and  cheap  humor  that 
is    destined    to    find    Ita    way    Into    our 
nurseries       and       schoolrooms.       There 
should      bo      an    annual    bonfire    of    new 
booka   for  children,   and   the   most  offen- 
sive   authors    should    be    pitchforked    In 
with    their      own    pernicious    work*    to 
add    fuel    to    the    flame.      There    Is    no 
necessity   to   cive   a   child   new   atorics; 
childhood    ia    the    time    for    the   oldest 
stories  in   the  world,  and   there  are  so 
many  dellshtful  editions  of  books   that 
are  worth  while,  that  there  la  no  citouse 
for  not  giving   the  child   the  best,   and 
with  the  Illustrations  of  Caldecott.  and

A   Osnsrous   Act 

Ncitlier    ape    nor    great    wealth      have 
stifled     the    generous     impulJes     In     the 
heart    of    .lamos    J.    Hill,   according    to    a 
story    told    by    The    Spokesman    Heview. 
Not  .    Ions       ago       a    la.l     of    seventeen, 
Walter    Dc    Barrow,     was    run    over    by 
the  Great  Northern  at  Sp^Kai^e,  and   hi.-f 
legs   were   taken  oft.   Aft<^r   his   recovery 
h^    was    sent    to    the    county    poor    farm. 
It   appears    that    no    one    connected    with 
the   railroad    was   in    any   way   to   blame 
for  the  accident,   but  It  occurred    to   the 
poor    lad    that    the    great    railroad    mag- 
nate    might     find     sul  table     employment 
for   him.     HP    wrote   to   Mr.    Hill   and   In 
return   was    invited    to    &t.    Paul    and    re- 
ceived  the   promise   that  he  should  hav^ 
urtticti-al     limbs,     clothing,     money,     ikn 
education,    it    be    wanted    U.    and    a    UU 
position  In   the  service  of   the  company. 
He  has  gone  to  spend  Christmas  at  the 
Hill    mansion,    and    Is    riding    In    a    Pull- 
man   car.       The    lad.    it    appears,    is    an 
orphan  and  alone  In  the  world.     It  may 
be   said   that  It  cost   the  millionaire  but 
little   to   provide  for   the  friendless   boy. 
Is     It     not     the     will,     rather     than     the 
power,    that   prevents    most   of    us    from 
flndUig  opportunities  of  helping  others?

Training  for  the  Island  League 


Team  Has  Been  Playing  for 
Twenty-Four  Seasons  and 
Has  Never  Been  Relegated 
— Chance  for  Another  Title 


Aston  Villas   are   rlsTit   iiii    in    the   run- 
nlojf   In    the    first    division    of    ih(i    Eng- 
lish   Soccer    IjeaRne^^and     hiivo    a    jjond 
chance    of    annexinjj     the    championship 
for      the    seventh    time    in    their   career. 
They    have   a    better    leaRiie    record    than 
any     other    and     for    consistency     would 
be    hard    to  'beat.      Aston    Villa   have   al- 
ready finished  at  the  head  of  tho  league 
table   on    six   ■occasions,    the    first   beliiK 
In    the   season   of    1893-'94    and    the    last 
1909-'10.      In   addition    to    that   they   have 
finished    second    on    four    occasions,    be- 
ing   runners-up    to    Preston    Xorth    End 
wTien   the  Proston   team  was  unbeatable. 
Id   the  very  first  leagu.j  season,  ISSS-T,!)    | 
They    finished    third   on    one      occasion 
Thus    out    of    the    24    seasons    that    thi    ' 
English   League   has  "been  organized   A.s 
ton  Villa  ha,ve  been  "placed,"  on  no  few-   , 
er    than    15    occa'ilons. 

Moreover     the     team    has    equaled    al- 
most   every    record.         Only    two    teams 
have    acTomplished    the,  dou-bje .  feg,t  C 
winning    both    the    league   champlonshii 
and  th«  English  cup  in  the  same  season 
Preston   North.  End   doing   this   In    18Ss- 
'89    and    Aston    Villa   In    lS96-'97.      Then   I 
ajirain  they  share  with  Newcastle  United    1 
the    honor    of    having   made    the    highest 
.  number     of     points     in     a     season,     53, 
Newcastle  malting  tlie  record  in  1908-09, 
and    the   Villa   equaling   it   the   following 
season.        They   have     won    the   Ko'Otball 
Association  Cup  on  four  occasions.  They 
have    weathered     24    seasons    of    senior 
football    without  -   relegation    and      only 
two    other    clubs    can    say     the       sanu-, 
Blaclrt)urn     Rovers    and    Everton.       Thi.s 
Is     a     record     that     no     other     cUib     can    j 
boast  of  and   that  will  be  hard  to  equal.   '

WELSHMEN  AND  OAR  BAY 
PLAY  NEW  YEAR'S  DAY 


A  Barnard  Cup  League  Rugby  game 
between  the  Welsh  Club  and  the  Oak 
Bp-ys  has  been  arranged  for  New  Years 
Day.  This  was  all  the  business  done 
at  the  weekly  meeting  of  Victoria

are  giving  the  Thomas  case  furtlicr

Y.M.CA,  Expect  to  Upset  All 
Calculations  and  Beat  Vic- 
twia  City — Three  Changes 
in  "Y."  Lineup 


The  second  game  In  the  amateur 
hockey  series  will  be  played  tomor- 
row night  at  the  ririk,  when  th^  Victoria 
City  Club  and  Y.'M.  C.  A.  teams  meet. 
The  game  ought  to  he  even  more  in- 
teresting  than    the   opener. 

The  Victoria  Citj'  players  have  come 
in  for  a  lot  of  praise  and  it  is  tho 
belief  of  the  majority  of  the  fans  that 
they  will  win  the  championship.  Tho 
"Y"  team's  manager  states,  however, 
that  calculations  are  going  to  be  ^udely 
upset  and  Victoria  City  beaten  In  their 
first  argument   F'rlday   night. 

There  will  be  three  changes  in  the 
line-up  of  tte  "Y"  team.  Frank  Gal- 
Hl.er,  late  of  the  Upper  Cana-da  College, 
Toronto,  and  goal  tender  of  i.ho  All-Star 
Bast  team  in  the  O.  II.  A.  Junior 
Champlonshi.p  series  of  1910  will  per- 
foi*m  in  the  nets  and  Kane  and  Jones, 
Maritime  Province  players,  will  also 
figure    on    the    team. 

The  game  will  start  at  S  o'clock.  One 
of  the  jirofessional  players  will  referee.

build   on   the  other  side."

Arranging  Dates  with  United 
States  and  Canadian  Clubs 
for  1913— Forty  I\4atches 


AU'ithor  visit  from  a  i  raik  Aiislrji- 
jUu  >crlcket  team  to  Victoria  no.vt 
summer, is  practically  assured.  The  An- 
tlpodeans  plan  a  trip  throughout  Can- 
ada and  the  United  States  In  1913  and 
t'-.fiv  secretary  Is  already  in  communi- 
iiitioti  with  .A.merican  clubs  with  tlio 
object    of    arranging    dates. 

Tlie  .'Vu-stralians  will  bring  their 
•■strongest  pos.«lble  teaiii.  mo.st  of  th.e 
players  being  those  who  eompetcd  in 
the  triangular  tests  last  summer  In 
England.  It  is  propo.sod  tliat  they  ar- 
rive In  America  next  April  and  possibly 
will- commence  play  at  San  Francisco, 
going  East  through  the  States  an<i,  re- 
turning West  via  Canada  to  Victoria. 
They  will  possibly  Play  forty  matches 
on  the  tour,  and  it  will  be  known  at 
an  early  date  whether  they  play  her^ 
in  June  or  August.  The  dates  of  their 
match  here  all  depends  on  whether 
they   land   at  Frisco   or  here. 


Tournament  of  1913  Bids  Fair 
to  Be  the  Most  Stupendous 
Event  of  Kind  Ever  Held  in 
'America 


The  Thirteenth  Annual  International 
Tournament  of  the  American  Bowling 
Congress  wUl  be  inaugurated  at  Toledo, 
Ohio,  on  the  night  of  February  22  — 
Washington's  birthdjiy — and  run  un- 
abated   until    March    12,    Inclusiv.-. 

The  tournament  of  1913  bids  fair  to 
be  the  most  stupendous  event  of  Its 
kind  ever  attempted.  Fosters,  entry 
blanks  and  Bulletin  No.  1  were  sent 
broadcast  by  Secretary  A.  L.  Langtry 
last  week,  and  though  the  date  set  for 
the  big  tonrne.v's  opening  is  two  months 
hence,  all  tlie  details  have  been  ar- 
ranged.    , 

It  i.s  th(>  honp  of  the  tournament  of- 
drjaht  that  n(i%v,-u-d  of  600  five-men 
teams  will  enter  the  event,  while  a 
crirrcsponding  number  of  tvVo-men  team-i 
and  individuals  are  assured.  This 
would  mean  h  representation  of  ap- 
proximately '1.000  bowlers.  the  very 
cream   of   the  ITnited   States   and   Canadn. 

Last  year  at  Chicago,  n'JK  two-men 
teams  coJilcslcd  in  the  tournfimont,  and 
as  each  renewal  of  the  ivcnt  has  shown 
a  substantial  incrca.se,  particularly  In 
the  major  division.  It  is  predicted  that 
the  five-men  team  entry  alnnw  >T>ay 
rt-aclt  G,')n,  far  surpassing  all  previous 
marks. 

Tlie.  Toledo  Bowling  Tournament 
Company  has  closed  a  contract  for  six- 
teen of  the  best  alleys  and  automatic 
pin  spotters  togc^tljor  with  600  sots  of

opening  of  the  tonrnoy.  a  force  of  ex- 
pert mechanics  will  begin  the  installa- 
tion   of    the    ciiuipment. 

The  tournament  will  be  held  in  the

Dainty  Little  Book  Just  Issued 
In  London  Contains  Much 
Wisdom  and  Philosophic  Ad- 
vice to  Lovers 


LONDON,  Dec.  23 — "Kisses  and  Other 
Nonsense"  is  the  title  of  a  dainty  little 
book  Just  published  which  contains 
much  wisdom  that  must  always  l>e 
topical.  It  consists  of  excerpts  from 
well-known  authors,  and  the  follow- 
ing are  eome  of  the  more  striking  pas- 
sages:*' 

"One  may  drift  into  heaven  on  a 
kiss." 

"It  is  not  the  kiS«  endured  but  the 
kiss    return-ed    that    lives," 

"The  young  man  of  the  day,  as  a 
general  rule,  has  no  more  notlori  liow 
to  kiss  a  woman's  hand  than  liow  to 
take  snuff  or  dance  a  pavane.  Indeed, 
lots  of  tliom  don't  know  liciw  to  Iciss  a 
girl   at    all." 

"Tho  first  kis.s  is  usually  the  most 
passionate  moment  of  a  man's  new  life 
story;  but  It  is  the  later  kisses  which 
light  blazing  fires  in  a  woman's  heart." 

"A  kiss  has  often  proved  a  more 
potent    arouser    than    any    storm." 

"Ki-sslng   some    one   you    don't    like    Is 

Hko  .iriiiklng  J^^JMJS}^^''  """  ''^^-'^ 
^  glass."  '^!^felg 

"A  man  may  sometimes  be  forgiven 
the  kiss  to  which  he  was  not  entitled, 
but  never  the  kiss  he  has  not  tho 
initiative    to    claim." 

"The  anticipation  of  a  kiss  is  often 
more  alluring   than   the  realization." 

"Women  do  not  really  roquiro 
kisses.  They  only  want  the  knowledge 
that    ttiey   are   klssable." 

"Kisses  and  matrimony  don't  neces- 
sarily   go    together." 

"When  a  woman's  down,  men  dther 
kick    or    kiss    her." 

"Out  of  the  fullness  of  tlie  heart  the 
mouth — kl.'?ses." 

"Kissing  i.s  not  a  matter  of  morals 
but   of   shape,    the   shape   of    your    lips." 

"A  kiss  is  remembered  when  kisses 
are     forgotten." 

"A  kiss  on  the  chin  Is  a  mere  out- 
sider of   a   kiss." 

"The  -real  man-hater  doesn't  exist 
and  the  sham  one  gives  up  directly 
her  lips  are  kissed." 

"So  long  as  a  woman  is  fond  of  be- 
ing kissp4,  she  won't  get  too  much 
enfranchised." 

".■V  woman's  first  kiss  tinless  it  be 
a  mere  charity  or  kindness,  need  never 
be   tho   last" 

"The  accumulated  knowledge  of  ages 
Is  sometimes  revealed  by  a  kiss.  Where 
wisdom  is  bliss..  It  la  folly  to  be  ignor- 
ant." 

"A  kiss  Is  a  course  of  procedure 
cunningly  devised  for  th-e  mutual 
stoppage  of  speech  at  a  moment  when 
word.-s  are   superfluous." 

"After  a  girl  gets  beyond  thirty  she 
prefers  kisses   to   carmels." 

"A  man  thinks  that  whatever  vexa- 
tion a  woman  Is  suffering  from  his 
kisses   can   put  it    right."

OPIUM  FOUND  ON  KOREA 


SAN  FRANCISCO.  Cal.,  Dec.  24.— 
Kight  skins,  each  about  two  feet  long, 
fiUod  with  opium  weighing  over  seven- 
toon  pounds  and  ^•alued  at  $950,  were 
selzod  yesterday  on  the  steamship 
Korea  by  Customs  Inspector  Henry  8. 
Vorney  in  tho  room  of  Third  Assistant 
Knginoor  M.  L.  McCalllon.  The  bladder 
skins  were  concealed  between  the  bot- 
tom of  tho  lowest  drawer  and  the  deck 
under  McCalUon's  bunk.  Shortly  after- 
ward Verney  discovered  two  tins  of 
opium  on  top  of  the  wat»r  tank  In  the 
engineers'    tollet-room. 

McCalllon  was  taken  before  Collector 
Stratton  and  Deputy  Customs  Surveyor 
Stephens  and  made  a  statement  den.ving 
ail  knowledge  of  the  presence  of  the 
drug  on  the  ship.  He  said  that  two 
Chinese  cabin  boys  had  access  to  the 
room  at  ail  times  and  were  frequently 
in  there  cleaning  up  and  performing 
other   similar   duttes. 

"Well,  wliat  do  you  want  me  to  do?" 
asked  Stratton  of  Stepliens.  "Do  you 
want  mo  to  arrest  him?" 

Stephens    disclaimed    any    such    desire. 

"Then  you  are  free,"  said  Stratton  to 
McCalllon.  The  engineer  thanked  the 
collector  and  went  on  his  way  rejoicing. 
He  has  never  been  under  suspicion  of 
boing  engaged  in  smuggling,  and  his 
good  reputation  stood  him  In  good 
stead. 

The  collector  said  that  there  was  no 
nvidonce  against  him  and  expressed  the 
opinion  that  the  opium  had  been  placed 
in  the  room  by  some  members  of  the 
Chinese  crew  whose  Identities  are  un- 
known. 

The  drug  will  be  destjoyed  by  being 
boiled    and    dumped    Into    the    sewer.

American  Baptists  Claim  That 
the  Bible  Translated  in  King 
James'  Reign  Is  Out  of  Date 
— Lord's  Prayer  Changed 


CHICAGO,  111.,  Dec.  24.— Chicago's 
clergy  arc  stirred  by  tlic  contents  of 
the  revised  Blblo,  In  which  seventeenth 
contury  diction  gives  way  to  modern 
language.  The  publication,  which  has 
just  been  Issued  by  the  American  Bap- 
tist Publication  Society,  with  head- 
quarters In  Fhiladolphia,  eliminates 
obsolete  words  and  replaces  them  w;|^, 
terms  in  general  use.  Many  of  the  f(|^n- i 
Isters  in  uttering  their  protests  ai^(|<u(B 
that  the  Bible  has  been  modernlaexl  \ J..'a 
much   already.  ' 

"Adam  and  Eve,"  named  as  '  the 
founders  of  the  human  race  In  the 
King  James  version,  givn  way  in  the 
now  Bible  to  the  terms  "man"  and 
"woman." 

Such  words  as  "loveth"  and  "lead- 
eth"  are  replaced  by  "love"  and 
"lead."  Where  hell  is  referred  to  in 
the  sixteenth  chapter  of  St.  Luke,  the 
word  "underworld"  Is  substituted. 
Portions  written  in  poetry  In  the  old 
Bible   are    printed    In    their    verse    form. 

Other  changes  in  the  new  version 
are: 

Use  of  the  phrase  "carved  image" 
instoad  of  "graven  image"  in  the  first 
commandment. 

Placing  the  word  "Immerse"  In 
parentheses    beside    the   word    "baptize." 

Substitution    of    the      i>hrase      "great 
fish"    for    tbe    word    "whiile"      In      the 
story  of  Jonah  and  the  wb&le. 

£;dltor  J.  S.  Dickerson  of  The  Baptist 
Standard   said: 

"The  phrase  'Baptist  Bible'  is  ridicu- 
lous. The  new  translation  which  has 
been  under  wat  for  a  generation  was 
a  task  imposed  upon  the  Americi?^ 
Baptist  Society  by  a  convention  that 
met  in  Seratoga,  N.  Y.,  In  1883. 

"The  >  King  Jamee<  veralon  witti  all 
Us  sttiiteltness  anO'' dignity  of  phrase- 
ology is  known  to  contain  errors  of 
translation  based  <n  some  instances  on 
a  faulty  oviginil  tett.  v 

"Many  of  these  elTOW<  hkre  been 
noted  in  the  present  revision  of  the 
Bible.  Thlti  new  translation,  of  which 
the  first  copies  were  published  «ome 
months  kgo.  Is  another  attempt  to  ob- 
tain for  the  people  a  .  translation 
whU|i  Is  eorreot  and  which  6mlt«  ob- 
solete Snglish  words.  The  work  has 
been  performed  largely  by  noted  B«p<

Miraculous  pscbpcb  from  serious  In- 
Jury  and  possibly  cIomHi  were  had  by  h 
party  of  mntorlsts  early  yesterday 
morning,  when  the  motor  car  driven  by 
Mr.  Basil  G.  Prior,  coiitalnUiK  five 
other  paspenj^ers,  sUldde<l  on  Dallas 
rioarl,  near  the  Dallas  Hotel,  at  i.-i^> 
a.  m.,  struck  the  curb  of  the  puvemonl 
and  boundhiK  over  t.'at  obstruction 
ploughed  over  the  f-ftocn-foot  embank- 
ment to  the  rocks  below.  The  car  was 
almost  totally  wrecked,  wheels,  jruards, 
lamps  and  other  accessories  strewing 
the  ground  where  It  struck.  With  the 
exception  of  Mr.  Prior,  whose  left  leg 
was  bruised  and  cut,'  none  of  the  other 
occupants  of  tlie  machine  received  In- 
juries other  than  bruises  and  minor 
cuts.  That  some  of  them  'Were  not 
killed  was  tt  pure  piece  of  luck. 

M-  Prior  '  was  drlvlns  the  party

when  the  wl.cel.s  sklddfrd  upon  the  wot

and  over  the  curb.  The  Shock  of  strik-

J.vcr  Just  'before  plunging  o\-«er  the

car.  The  extent  of  the  ■  damage  to  the 
machine  was  expres.ted  by  Mr.  Prior  to 
the  police  when  he  made  his  report  that 
the   car   was   "smashed   to   pieces." 

The  police  patrol  was  h\irrled  to  the 
spot,  bringing  the  imrty  back  to  the 
police  station,  where  Mr.  Prior  made 
Ills  report.  First  aid  was  given  to  Mr. 
Prior's  injuries  'oy  .Sergeant  Harper  and 
Jailer    Brogan. 

Yesterday  morning  at  10;30  o'clock 
motor  car  .\o.  34S1  was  left  standing 
on  Courtney  Street  oi>poslte  the  Post- 
Off  Ice.  The  brakes  had  not  been  set 
and  the  machine  started  of  Itself  and 
ran  down  the  slight  incline  towards 
Government  f-treet  and  across  that  thor- 
oughfare into  the  mall  delivery  Tig 
driven  by  Mr.  W.  J.  Williamson.  Lit-

DB!L«I.  India,  Dec.  24.— The  attempt 
on  the  life  of  Baron  and  Lady  Hard- 
Inge  yesterday  by  an  Indian  fanatic 
kept  the  police  and  civil  authorfties  of 
the  Imperial  :Uy  of  India  occupied  to- 
day. A  large  number  of  arrests  have 
been  made.  It  lias  b^een  proved  that  at 
least  150  people  were  gathere«i  at  th? 
back  of  the  premises  from  which  the 
bomb  was  thrown.  In  the  vicinity  also 
was   a   dense   crowd   of   natives. 

Mo  sp«clal  arrangements  had  be?n 
made  for  the  occasion,  and  only  ordin- 
ary police  commanded  by  British  o(1'!- 
cers  were  on  duty  In  the  stre.-^ts. 
There  are  sco.-f-a  of  theories,  ■.tomo  be- 
lieve that  the  otlempted  a8aa3.<inatiMi 
was  the  work  of  a  Bengalese  v.  ho  wa.s 
trying  to  uv,-:m.;  what  he  .'on-O'lerol 
an  insult  In  the  removal  of  Indli'a 
capital    from    Calcu\ta   to   ]:)elhl. 

Closer  examination  of  the  howdah  In 
which  the  viceroy  was  sealed  when 
the  missile  was  thrown  shows  how  nar- 
row was  the  escape  of  Baron  Hardlnge. 
The  high  back  of  the  howdah.  ■  which 
was  made  of  hard  wood,  and  against 
which  the  viceroy  was  declining,  was 
wrecked.  The  bomb  was  of  the  ordin- 
ary typ«,  but  contained  a  large  num- 
ber     oi      screws    and    talking    machine 

needles. 

A  bulletin  Issued  this-  morning  by 
doctors  in  attendance  on  the  viceroy 
says:  "Baron  Harding.-  passed  a  rest- 
less night.  It  w;.  -ary  to  rcll<>ve 
his  pain  with  liij-- u  >;u.  of  morphine. 
JH^  >.nfr,.vff^  little  fever  last  night  and 
hone  was  present  this  morning.  Tt 
-was  found  through  the  operation  la.-^t 
evening  that  the  muscle  under  the 
shoulder  blade  was  rather  severely 
torn."

London  Lawyer  Suggests  the 
,  Adoption   of  Drastic  Steps 
for    Dealing   With    Militant 
Suffragettes 


lOxnON.  P'^'-.  r!4.— "Make  them  out- 
la„..-  This  is  the  severe  euBKestion 
of  a  London  lawyer  to  the  authori- 
ties who  are  at  their  wlt^  end  in  deal- 
ing   with    the    miUtanl  suffragettes. 

As  the  women  will  not  o.bey  "man-

have  no  right  to  the  protection  of  those 

law.?.

n  rnn-    imr.    ..v  .- ,      . 

likely    to    meet    general    approval,    It    Is 
admitted     that    some      way       must       he 
fouml     to    punish    women    vlolaters     of 
the    law   without  maklnK    them    martrys 
to    "The    Cause."      When    they    were    ar- 
rested    wholesale    and       committed       to 
prl«<on    for    brcaklnjj    windows,    altempt- 
li,K   to  set  fire  to  a  Dublin  theatre  and 
for    other    offences,    they      escaped      by 
means  of  the  hunger  strike.     None  have 
been    caught    at   .settlnfr   fires    and    pour- 
ing  ink    and   other   .substances    Into    let- 
ter   boxes,    but    Elsie    Howey,    who    has 
been    sentenced    to     two       months'       im- 
prisonment   for    turning    in    false 
alarms,    the    latest    devlc;    of    the 
tants    to    Influence    men    to    give 
the    vote,    probably    will    become    a 
ger   striker. 

Many  plans,  including  that  of 
ting  them  starve  in  prison  if  lliey  re- 
fuse food,  have  been  recommended  to 
the  Government,  but  none  has  thus  far

nulized  their  departure  from  the  land 
of  their  birth  and  persecution.  In  each 
case  It  meant  abandoning  home  and 
land,  wlthooit  compensation.  It  was  a 
-slrango  sight;  the  conjunction  of  ttils 
world-old  people  of  strong  and  rugged 
frames,  with  child  at  breast  am^  bur- 
den on  back,  with  sturdy  women  and 
sturdier  men  collecting  a  few  house- 
liold  goods,  lingering  about  the  station 
platform  of  a  new  world  for  many 
hours  In  tlie  drizzling  rain,  then  packed 
with  the  utmost  discomfort  Into  the  ool- 
oni.st  cars  of  a  long  train  and  whlrleil 
iiway  ft  thousand  miles  to  tlieir  new 
destination.  Xo  wonder  that  there  were 
many  tears  and  much  dlstiress,  for, 
after  all,  home  Is  home,  and  the  Joys 
and  sorrt'wa  of  one  HM-ad*.  may  con- 
secrate It.

Tha  other  obj«otlon  baaed  on  the 
trading  ciistomB  of  the  Doukhobors  was 
to  the  e'focl  that,  ow.ng  to  their  large 
numbers  and  their  control  of  so  much 
labor  111  I,-  might  swamp  the  fruit  In- 
dustry of  the  Kootenay.  This  view  Is 
not  entertalnod  by  the  largest  fruit- 
growers. It  was' combatted  by  that 
well-known  pioneer  of  the  induHtry, 
Mr.  James  Johnstone,  of  Nelaon,  for 
many  years  president  of  the  Kootenay 
Fruitgrowors'  Association,  and  also  by 
Mr.  rtaymond  Micks,  the  secretary  of 
the  Asaoclatlon.  These  witnesses 
claimed  that  the;  Doukhobors  had  been 
of  great  advantage  to  the  fruitgrowers 
of  the  Kootenay,  as  they  had  furnished 
laborers  to  pick  their  fruit,  had  made 
contracts  at  a  very  satisfactory  price, 
and  had  been  large  purchasers  for  con- 
sumption in  their  Jam  factory.  It  was 
held  that  there  was  much  more  dan- 
ger from  .\merlcan  competition  than 
from  the  Doukliohors,  and  Mr.  Sher- 
blnln,  the  local  business  manager  of  the 
community,  assured  the  commissioner 
that  their  policy  would  be  the  same  In 
Hrltish  Columbia  as  it  has  been  In 
.Saskatchewan,  to  market  the  produce  of 
itidenendont  growers  with  their  own 
wherever    it    was    offered    to    them. 

Xandllnr  B.  C.  Trait 

On  a  similar  system  they  had  mar- 
keted grain  in  Saskatchewan  and  so- 
cured  an  advance  of  twenty-five 
per  cent  In  the  price  against  the  Grain- 
growers'  Kxchange.  They  would  do 
tlie  same  with  British  Columbia  fruit, 
and  in  order  to  eliminate  the  middle- 
man's profit  and  bring  the  producer 
find  consumer  nearer  lofeethor,  they 
hatl  planned  to  build  large  warehonirea 
and  cold  storage  plant.<i  throughout  the 
Pjalrie  rrovincca,  to  stor«  the  fruit.  In 
confirmation  of  this  policy  it  is  pointed 
out  that  since  the  close  of  the  inquiry 
Mr.  Teviotdale,  the  secretary*  of  the 
lioukhobois'  jam  factor.v,  has  advertised 
In  the  Nelson  paper  for  offers  of  fruit 
from  independent  growers,  to  be  dealt 
with  on  these   lines. 

The  last  chapter  In  the  report  Is  de- 
voted to  a  careful  study  of  the  history, 
character  and  influence  of  the  leader 
of  the  Doukhobors,  Peter  Veregln. 
This  chapter  goes  back  to  the  time 
when  he  was  selected  by  his  prede- 
cessor, I..ukerya  Vaslyvna  Kalmykova, 
to  be  her  successor.  How  for  five 
years  he  acted  as  her  regent;  how  at 
her  death  there  was  a  split  in  the 
community  and  he  was  exiled  to  Si- 
beria. How  he  was  recalled  to  Quell 
the  troubles   that  had  arisen  In  Canada. 

He  is  described  as  a  "benevolent 
despot."  Absolutely  devoted  to  the  in- 
terests of  the  Doukhobors:  at  all  times 
plotting,  planning  and  scheming  to  ad- 
vance their  cause;  not  enriching  him- 
self; ruling  with  a  rod  of  iron:  exact- 
ing implicit  obedience  and  exercialng 
rigid    dlscipllna. 

He    is    described      as    a     bip    man    tn 


•pting   no    teaching    but    his,    passing   It  1   every    sense    of    the    word;      the    history 


on  by  word  of  mouth  from  generation 
to  generation,  using  no  books  and  in- 
terpreting fchrisfs  injunctions  literal- 
ly. The  Community  as  a  whol<?  la  mos*. 
devout  and  ha.s  shown  in  nunierous 
written  statements  presented  to  the 
Commissioner  and  attached  as  l%per.- 
diees  to  the  report  that  th*y  disclaim 
belief  in  any  form  of  Governme.it,  ac- 
knowledging   only    the    Deity. 

They  do  not  tiuarrel,  tight  or  commit 
crime;  they  do  not  believe  in  violence, 
nor  will  they  resort  to  It;  they  preach 
and  practise  the  simple  life;  their  great 
fear  of  education  is  that  it  will  hav« 
the  same  effect  on  their  children  as 
they  claim  it  does  on  Canadian  children, 
to  make  them  dlscontended  wlUi  life  ori 
tlH!  farm  and  lure  them  to  other  occu- 
pations in  the  city.  They  say  that  God 
gavir  life  and  God  takes  it  away; 
therefore  it  is  an  impertinence  for  a 
man  or  the  law  to  Interfere;  they  say 
that  a  marriage  contract  concerns  no 
one  but  tlie  two  parties  interested,  and 
while  they  urge  its  Inviolability,  there 
have  bo.'n  instances  in  which  re-mar- 
rlag<  has  been  allowed  in  the  interests 
of  communal  life  during  the  lifetime 
oT  th'i  partie.s.  But  there  is  nothing  to 
show  tliat  on  the  whole  the  standard  of 
m-orality  in  lowered  by  these  considera^ 
tions. 

Stress  must  also  he  ^aid  on  this  fact, 
that  in  all  their  resistance  to  law, 
registration  In  Rus.sla  was  made  use  of 
to  trace  the  young  men.  and  enforce 
military  service,  and  as  reslBlance  to 
this  is  one  of  their  fundamental  prin- 
ciples thty  are  afraid  it  may  have  tha 
same  Gftect  here.  In  his  evidence  !n 
Nelson,  Peter  Veregln  went  as  far  as 
to  say  that  this- was  the  most  potent 
factor  in  preventing  them  from  becom- 
ing naturalized  British  subjects.  They 
regard  Imprisonment  as'  persecution 
and  as  an  outrage  on  their  religious 
beliefs,  and  this  point  is  dealt  with 
wpeciflclBlly  in  the  Commlssflner's  find- 
ings  and    recommendations. 

Kind    and    Kospltabla 

No  morn  eloquent  testimony  to  the 
morality,  klnOlincsa  and  hospitality  of 
the  Doukhobors  could  be  found  than 
that  contained  In  the  reply  of  Miss 
Beulah'  Clark,  who  was  for  a  few 
months  teacher  at  the  Community 
8ciiool  at  Brilliant.  HIik  speaks  of  them 
in  the  liighest  po.<(siblc  terms;  greatly 
regretted  the  closing  of  the  school,  and 
expressed  herself  as  most  anxious  to 
return. 

Some  objections  were  raised  to  t}it 
E)oukhobo+K  In  their  trading  relations; 
the  first  that  they  did  not  trade  with 
local  rotnil  stores.  This  is  hardly 
worth  serious  consideration,  because  the 
complaint  Is  not  strictly  true,  as  they 
do  a  limited  amount  of  buaineaa  with 
the  retailers,  btit  they  take  their  stand 
upon  the  ground  that,  being  themselves 
a  trading  company  with  7,000  people  to 
pmvtde  for,  they  aiirely  have  the  same 
privilege  as  any  other  trading  oompany 
to  do  their  buaKiem  urith  wholesalers,

and  traditions  of  his  peopU",  his  own 
sufferings,  his  contact  w^lth  great  men 
have  been  his  education.  He  inherits 
the  characteristics'  of  his  race,  among 
which  are  strong  reasoning  capacity, 
diplomatic  skill  and  subtlety.  Ttie 
greatest  tribute  to  his  ability  is  the 
manner  in  which  he  has  for  thirteen 
years  been  able  With  comparative  suc- 
cos.s  to  hold  his  people  together  in  the 
midst  of  an  environTneni  entirely  alien 
to  their  ideas,  their  cherished  beliefs, 
and  their  ambitions.  In  the  freest 
country  In  the  world,  w^here  Individual 
feeling  Is  the  keynote,  he  still  holds 
six-sevenths  of  the  original  settlement 
in  the  thrall  of  community  life,  with 
Individuality  rxtingulahed  except  for 
his  own  personal  control.  He  is  In 
fact  a  "theocratic  czar";  he  inherits 
not  only  the  genius,  but  the  capacit>' 
for  governing. 

Attractive  Varsonallty 
His  personality  is  both  attractive  and 
Impressive.  He  is  tall,  broad,  muscu- 
lar, massive,  with  a  fine  head,  great 
natural  dignity  of  carriage  and  the 
\flry  atmosphere  of  strength.  Yet,  like 
many  sucit  men,  he  has  a  remarkably 
gentle  manner.  He  speaks  In  a  low 
tone  of  voice.  His  every  mood  is 
marked  by  a  natural  courtesy  and 
simple  dignity  which  would  signal  him 
out  for  notice  anywhere.  Hie  features 
are  regular  and  his  skin  of  an  olive 
pallor.  His  hair  and  beard  were  jet 
black,  but  are  now  streaked  with  Iron 
grey.  His  eyes  are  dark  and  thought- 
ful and  in  moments  of  excitement,  shine 
with  hidden  fire;  his  whoje  expression 
is  that  of  a  man  who  has  suffered 
much  and  has  triumphed  over  every- 
thing through  the  force  of  courage  and 
confidence.  His  people  yield  him  the 
utmost  deference  and  obedience,  due, 
perhaps,  not  altogether  to  his  great 
personal  endowments  and  magnetism, 
hut  partly  to  their  religious  belief 
which  Invests  Him  supernatural  attri- 
bute.*. 

Those  who  have  known  him  longest 
and  best  regard  his  control  and  domina- 
tion as  absolute  and  claim  that  In  re- 
spect of  the  Canadian  laws  which  are 
now  being  set  at  defiance  by  the  Douk- 
hobors, his  personal  authority,  If  ex- 
ercised, would  be  sufficient  to  Insure 
compliance.  Without  going  this  far, 
the  report  of  the  comralasloner  cleaily 
indicates  at  any  rate  a  partial  twllef  in 
this  view  to  which  he  gives  effect  In 
his    recommendations. 

Thare  la  another  phase  of  the  aub- 
Ject  to  be  considered.  Ttoe  considerable 
defections  from  the  community  In  Saa- 
katohewan  and  the  mtr9>r  onea  whiob 
have  already  taken  place  In  Britlah 
Columbia  turalab  some  grotind  for  aup- 
poaing  that  the  leadafa  vrip  la  not  aa

hits  modified  some  of  Ms  own  per- 
>onel  Ijablls  Is  in  Itsolf  a  concession  to 
this   iiupeiidiiig  change. 

The  final  ooncluslun  of  the  re- 
port is  that  the  real  problem  is  not  the 
Doukhobors,    but   Peter   Veregln. 

"For  through  It  a.f  the  figure  of 
Peter  Veregln  looms  majestic  and  all- 
powerful.  Whether  or  not  he  la  losing 
control  as  evidenced  by  the  growing 
dtaeatlsfactlon  of  the  young  men  of  the 
community,  or  whether  the  number  of 
the  disaffected  is  so  few  that  the^ 
cannot  be  regarded  aa  repreaentatlv^, 
the  fact  remains  that  the  community 
affairs  are  in  the  hands  of  a  man  who 
is  well  able  to  handle  them,  who  has 
achieved  the  most  remarkable  results, 
who  Is  Indeed  a  father  to  hts  people, 
teaching,  guiding  and  encouraging  them, 
who  combines  with  a  unique  knowledge 
of  the  DoukhoborK  thoir  history,  their 
belfeTs  and  their  character,  a  business 
ability  and  a  technical  knowledge  of 
everything  connected  with  land  and 
farming  of  such  a  remarkable  order  as 
to  Insure  prosperity  and  comfclrt  for 
all  the  people  under  his  control  if  the>' 
can  be  brought  to  such  a  compliance 
with  the  laws  of  the  country  aa  will

LIMA.  Peru,  Dec.  24. — .\n  attempt

rioted  at  tlic  Instigation  of  agents  of 
the  Brothers  .^.rama,  the  principal  pro- 
prietors. They  assaulted  the  two  Judi-

presence  of  the  perfect  of  the  district, 
who  made  no  move  to  suppress  the  dis- 
turbance. 

The  commissioners  have  appealed  to 
President   BlUlrighursl   for   protection. 


A  superb  roadway  one  hundred  feet  In 
width  Is  projected  to  extend  from  New 
Westminster    to   Coqultlam.

Canadian  Pacific  Hallway,  was  launch-

lumbia Marina  Railway  Company  at 
eleven    o'clock    yesterday    forenoon.

The  Maquinna  is  the  larffO.«:t

her  launching  marks  an  epoch  not  only

The  honor  of  being  tho  oldest  living 
navigator  of  tho  Pacific  Ocean  at  the 
present  day  belongs  to  Captain  Oeorge 
Brown,  of  this  city,  who  yesterday 
celebrated  his  eightieth  birthday.  Cap- 
tain Brown  Is  still  hale  and  hearty  and 
keenly  interested  in  affairs  of  the  sea, 
from  active  participation  In  which  he 
retired  five  years  ago. 

Captain  Brown  was  born  ui  Llverijool 
on  December  2  1,  1832,  his  father  being 
engaged  in  the  coasting  trade  in  the 
British  waters.  At  tho  ago  of  thlrtoen 
he  took  to  tho  sea  himself,  becoming 
captain's  boy  in  the  service  of  the  C\i- 
nard  Lilne  botv.-oen  his  home  port  and 
Now  York.  After  somo  years  of  this 
he  sailed  on  clipper  ships,  and  p.B,  an 
apprentice  on  tho  ship  Adam  Liodge  he 
rounded  tho  Horn  on  a  voyage  to  San 
l'"ranclsco.     This  was  about  1850. 

Came   Hei^o  in  .1853  . 

Ill  )n'r2  lio  Egalu  sailed  -to  this 
Coast,  thi.s  time  on  board  the  barken- 
tina  Annie  Moonv  The  vessel 'orlghLtHy 
HallofF  to^  the  Golden  Sate,  feu£  liuslnoss 
offering  In  this  dirootion.  she  was 
hrou^-ht.  to  Victoria. 
roniaincd  with  tho  b;: 
iiiontiis  after  her  nrri\ 
loft  her  and  dr!terml::t,i 
home  in  this  ciiy,  « ith 
greatly    taken. 

Going  Into  tho  sorvico  of  .Mr.  .losepli 
BoHcowitz,  Captain  Brown  did  a  gronl 
deal  of  coasting  and  trading  with  tho 
Indians  of  the  West  Coast.  For  four 
years  he  was  in  comniand  of  tho  Annie 
Back,  a  well-known  schooner  of  those 
days.  Later  ho  was, placed  In  charge 
o£  trading  stations,  , first, a-t;  Xootka  and 
aftorward.s  at  Kyorjuot. 

Took  Out   Sealing-  Schooner 

In  tlie  early  day^^  of  tlic  sealing  in- 
dustry ho  took  out  tho  first  schooner 
for  Mr,  Boscowitz,  the  Annie  Becic,  tho 
only  other  sclioonor  then  operating  be- 
ing Captain  Spring' .-i  Alert,  which  was 
in   charge   of  Captain   Christlanseh. 

In  more  recent  years  Captain  Brown 
was  in  tho  service  of  tho  Canadian  Pa- 
cific Navigation  company  and  continued 
in' tho  sorvico  with  tho  British  Colum- 
bia Coast  Service  of  tho  Canadian  I'acl-

iato  Mr.  \A'lUlam'',  Qgllvie.  Five  years

although  ho  folt — and  looks— USe  nianj* 
yiiais    yot    of    acti\-«    seamanship. 

Xever    Shipwrecked. 

Captain  Brown  h.'i.«  hiid  many  experl- 
en.'os  at  sea  Liiit  he  has  never  been 
shipwrecked.  On  hi.-j  first  voyage 
around  the  Horn,  however,  he  came  near 
it.  The  Adiun  Lod^■e,  which  was  car- 
r.Nln/,'  a  ciirt'o  of  roal  from  Cardiff  to 
Henlria,  had  put  Into,  the  Falkland 
Islands  to  endeavor  to  stop  a  leak  which 
c:onld  not  ho  located  at  sea,  and  the 
captain  had  gone  to  Port  Stanley  in 
.KfHi'ch  of  two  .'t.TllorS.  who  h.'Lil  de- 
serted on  the  ahlp'.s  arrival.  .\  hurri- 
cane sprung  up  and  for  some  time  tli  • 
shlO)  was  |In  great  danKcr.  hut  she 
weathiered  It  safely. 

As  a  trader  Capt.  Brown  was  a  great 
success,  and  he  hni]  the  confidence  of 
the  Indians.  He  liclleved  In  treating 
them  firmly  but  fairly,  and  always  pur- 
sued the  policy  of  absolute  truthful- 
ness with  th'cm.  He  declares  that  as 
an  ordinary  matter  of  business  this 
paid,  as  the  Indiana  sooner  or  later 
found  out  if  statements  made  were  not 
according  to  book,  and  fought  shy  of 
the  traders  whom  they  found  to,  de- 
ceive them.  He  was  \Hiry  scrupulous 
In  the  matter  of  liquor  wltli  the  In- 
dians, and  so  well  were  his  opinions  on 
tho  point  known  that  only  once  did  ho 
detect  the  natives  drinking  and  very 
seldom  did  Ive  see  any  of  thosi.-  about 
his  stations  under  the  influerac-e.  He 
confesses  that  it  renulrcd  an  awful  lot 
of  patience  to  deal  with  them,  though, 
and  that  success  was  only  achieved  by 
con.'Jtant    watchfulness. 

Ooloniat  S-jbscriber  from  rixat. 

Captain  Brown  boasts  that  he  liought 
a  copj'  of  the  first  Issue  of  the  Brit- 
ish Colonist  and  tluit  he  has  been  a 
sub.sorlber  to  thl."  paper  ever  since.  He 
is  as  proud  of  this  fact  as  he  Is  of 
being  tho  olilest  mariner  on  the  whole 
Pacific  Coast.  His  sixty  yvsars  of  life 
In  Victoria  an<l  on  Vancouver  Island 
cover  tho  entire  period  since  the  city 
was  laid  out.  Me  has  seen  the  port 
grow  from  the  smaJU^st  beginnings  to 
be  the  Canadian  port  with  the  largest 
tonnag'e  of  deep-sea  and  coaslng  ship- 
ping calling  at  Its  wharves,  and  he  Is 
looking  forward  to  beholding  the  <B:reat- 
er  development  whl«h  will  follow  the 
completion  of  the  harbor  Improvements 
a.nd   the  opening  of  the  Panama  Canal. 

Yesterday  Capt.  Brown  had  a  host 
of  call«rs  who  came  to  wish  him  many 
ha(»py  returns  of  his  birthday  and  the 
best  of  gobd  fortune  and  good  health, 
at  the  home,  of  his  son,  Mr.  J.  Brown,

Says  jealousy  Caused  Other 
War  Correspondents  to  Say 
His  Reports  Were  Inaccur- 
ate— Thrilling  Adventures 


Lieutenant  Wagner,  the  epeclal  cor- 
respondent to  The  Reichapoat  with  the 
JiulKaiiaijs,  whose  telegrams  during 
tbe  early  part  of  the  war  contained 
the  only  news  of  the  batllc-s  between 
the  Bulgarians  and  the  Turks.  and 
which  were  published  In  The  I-*ader, 
has  given  an  annount  oL'  tiis  experiences 
to   the  Reichspost. 

Lieutenant  Wagner  says  that  he  Is 
int-cnsely  proud  of  his  escapes  from  the 
headquarters  ''bf  the  Bulgariiiii  .Secui.d 
Army  at  Mustapha  Paslia,  and  descrlb')* 
how  he  arrived  at  Mustapha  Pasha  on 
October  28  with  only  one  siuuU  tag. 
He  was  extremely  hvmgry,  hut  could 
find  lonly  wines  and  spirits,  and  not 
food,  In  the  taverns,  which  were  filled 
with  soldiers.  Presently,  however,  he 
discerned  a  Turkish  "black  pudding" 
dangling  in  a  shop.  He  piirchased  It 
at.  an  extravagant  price  and  devoured 
half   of   it   raw. 

A  visit  to  the  censor's  office,  where 
there  w-cre  a  waiting  file  of  correspon- 
dents and  a  litllo  telegrapli  oil  iciul. 
who  laboriou.sly  counted  every  word  of 
the  toU'ijrams  and  then  lost  count  and 
started  again,  convinc^<d  him  that  the 
•work  of  a  war  correspondent  under 
those  conditions  was  impossible.  So 
he  decided  to  escape  from  the  head- 
quarters. 

'•When  night  fell  I  simply  requisi- 
tioned a  passing  military  wagon, 
fetched  my  bag  from  a  club  where  I 
had  left  it,  and  drove  back  to  the  sta- 
tion. Thus  I  spent  only  three  hours  in 
General  Pasha,  which  did  not  aee  me 
again.  It  amuses  me  to  read  that  soma 
correspondi^nts  allege  that  they  saw  me 
daily.  1  hope  that  their  other  observa- 
tions  are    more   correct. 

'■My  luck  was  in.  When  my  wagon 
arrived  at  the  station  a  military  train 
In    which       were      some      15-centimetrc

whlatle  and  we  were  off  Into  tha  cold 
and  foggy  night,  while  ray  dear  col- 
leagues in  Mustapha  Pasha  were  pro- 
bably flghtlntr  about  their  accomoda- 
tion  for  th«  night. 

Ml fi««»g  for  TtT*  Says 
'■During  the  five  dwrs  I  was  missing 
from  General  IvanofTs  hoadQuarters, 
telegrams  were  sent  In  all  directions. 
At  the  Stara  Zagora  headQuarters  it 
was  feared  that  an  accident  of  war  hart 
befallen  me.  Meantime  I  was  before 
Adrlanople  on  the  heights  of  Kemal, 
and  witnessed  the  great  artillery  duel 
against  the  Karageux  and  Sheitan 
I'ortB.  I  croBoed  the  River  Maritaa, 
ugaln  to  the  right  bank,  and  stayed  a 
while  in  the  ruins  of  Yurusch  (west  of 
Adrlanople,  and  saw  from  close  prox- 
imity one  of  the  heroic  Bulgariap  as- 
saults on  the  Turkish  ppXItlOH'^at  the 
head  of  the  bridge  over  tho  Marltssa. 
I  saw   muchr  very   much. 

•'I  returned  with  the  transport.  A 
wounded  Bulgarian  officer,  whoso  right 
breast  had  been  literally  ripped  up  by 
a  splinter  of  shell,  was  my  travelling 
companion.  When  the  train  stopped 
at  Mustapha  Pasha  I  sought  refuge 
from  any  peeping  eyes  in  an  obscure 
corner  of  the  carriage.  We  only  made 
a  short  halt,  lyiank  goodness!  Then 
the  train  took  me  away  from  the  dan- 
gerous neighborhood  of  the  censorship 
and  my  colleagues  of  the  war. 

"The  first  station  after  Mustpha 
Pasha  is  Ljubimetz.  Here  1  got  out 
and  reported  myself  to  the  military 
stationmaster  as  'returning  from  the 
Koyal  headquarters.'  He  was  a  re- 
tired officer  of  the  old-fashioned  type, 
who  did  not  know  what  to  do  with  me. 
Oxir  convursation  was  not  lengthy,  for 
he  had  his  hands  full.  'Before  Adrla- 
nople they  were  clamoring  for  some 
heavy  siege  guns  and  a  Bleriot  mono- 
plane, which  were  In  a  train  that  was 
stuck  somewhere  on  the  line  near 
Harmanli. 

A     "State"     Dispatch 
"My    plan     was    quickly         made.         I 
wont'   %»    the    local    telegraph    office    to 
try    my    luck    at    sending   an    uncensored 
,  raessaige. 

Detachments  of  the  newly  formed 
Tenth  Division  were  just  marching 
through  from  Adrlanople  when  the 
;NatschanUk,  or  postmaster,  hurried  in 
with  apologies  for  being  absent  to  rc- 
colvo  my  enormously  long  telegram. 
Ho  had  never  seen  a  newspaper  cor- 
respondent before,  and  from  my  red 
arm  band  took  me  to  be  a  war  com- 
missioner. I  had  no  reason  to  point 
out  to  him  his  mistake  and  tell  him 
what  I  was.  H*  promptly  accepted  ir.y 
dispatch  for  transmission  via  Phllip- 
popolis. 

"1  feared  for  the  moment  that  he 
would  want  to  send  it  via  Stara  2Sagora. 
As  a  reward  I  gave  him  a  lively  account 
of  the  brilliant  feats  performed  at 
Marash    iwest   of   Adrlanople.) 

"Only  once  the  situation  threatened 
to  become  unpleasant.  The  good  man 
was  astonished  to  find  a  'war  com- 
missioner' anxious  to  pay  for  a  tele- 
gram in  ready  money.  He  though  it 
was  an  important  state  dispatch  and 
kept  on  repeating,  'there  must  be  a 
mistake  somewhere.'  At  Tirnovo  I 
succeeded  in  bringing  off  something 
of  the  same  sort." 

Lieut.  Wagner  also  describes  how 
he  was  pursued  as  a  Turkish  spy — 
as  he  alleges  on  the  denunciation  of 
jealous  colleagues.  Ho  spent  a  night 
with  a  son-in-law  of  Gen.  Pitchef f. 
Prof.  Verscheff,  King  Ferdinand's 
court  painter,  and  two  Bulgarian  offi- 
cers in  a  waiting  room  at  the  station. 
He  escaped  arrest  by  a  miracle  at  Staat 
Tirnovo  Siomenll.  Ho  states  that  at 
Zagora,  where  he  returned  quite  alone. 
There  was  a  hiatus  of  three  days  filled 
by  a  special  mission  of  which  Lieut, 
wagner  is  at  present  not  at  liberty  to 
speak. 

At  Tinvovo  Slemenli,  Lieut.  Wagner 
mot  M.  Janko  Sakazoff,  the  leader  of 
The  Bulgarian  Socollsts.  After  the 
battle  of  Lula  Burgas  and  Tchoriu 
Lieutenant  Wagner  returned  to  Sofia. 
At  Stara  Zagora  railway  stAtlon  a 
Bulgarian  patrol  searched  the  platform 
for  him.  for  word  had  been  sent  from 
Mustapha- Paaha  that  he  must  be  ar- 
rested at  costs.  Meanwhile  Lieu- 
tenant Wagner  was  sitting  in  a  train 
describing  his  experiences  to  a  captain 
on  the  Bulgarian  General  Staff.  After 
an  unpleasant  Incident  at  PhUllppopolls 
he  FWiched  Sofia  saft\fy.  There  he  had 
an  interview  with  the  Premier,  M. 
Gueschoff.  At  the  Minister's  request 
he  told  him  how  he  got  his  messages 
through,  having  first  secured  from  M. 
Gueschoff  a  general  pardon  in  advance.

Chinese  Prince  Explains  the 
Relations  Between  Mongolia 
and  the  Rest  of  the  Empire 
of  China 


A  Bhort  time  ago  at  Peking,  Prince 
Kaluchlns,  DIroctor  of  the  Bureau  for 
Mongolia  and  Tibet,  wlilcli  lias  taki'ii 
the  place  or  the  old  1-1  I'nn  Pu  (Min- 
istry of  Dependencies)  entt-rtulned  soni  ■ 
of  the  correspondents  of  Kuiopean  und 
American  newspapers,  at  dinner.  Prltic> 
KalarhInK  Is  the  Chieftain  of  the  Right 
Wlnsr  of  the  Kharach'in  Tribe  In  the 
Chosottu  League  of  Inner  Mongolia. 
Outer  Mongolia  was  represented  at  tin 
banquet  by  Prlnco  Na,  u  Salnnoln 
Chieftain  from  the  UHns.sutai  dl.strlct, 
of  which  ho  was  recently  appointed 
Tartar   General. 

During  the  diuner  Prince  Kalnchlny 
njado  a  speech  upon  the  Mon(?olian  sit- 
uation, of  which  the  followlns  Is  a 
translation: 

"I  want  to  express  my  views  regardUiK 
the  present  serious  situation  created  by 
the  Russians  at  Urga,  and  also  the 
views  of  other  MonROllans.  When  the 
republican  regime  was  inaugurated  It 
■was  decided  to  join  the  five  races  of 
China  Into  one  nation,  and  the  Mon- 
golians were  one  of  the  fivo  raceH.  Tlio 
Mongolian  Association  demanded  good 
treatment,  and  the  preservation  of  the 
territorial.  religiouF,  and  hereditary 
rights  of  the  Jtlongols.  These  demands 
were  agreed  to  by  the  National  Council 
and  embodied  in  nine  urticies  for  the 
special  treatment  of  the  MongoUf.  Thes; 
articles  were  welcomed  by  most  of  the 
Mongolian  princes,  because  they  real- 
ized that  Mongolia  must  remain  a  part 
of  China.  Not  only  should  Mongolia 
not  become  autonomous;  it  really  could 
not  become  autonomous. 

"The  beginning  of  the  trouble  at 
TJrga  Was  due  to  the  cruelty  of  the 
Chinese  Amban  who  «««  nUlioned  there 
two  or  three  years  ogo.  The  Chcpls- 
undampa  Hutuktu  thereupon  became 
apgry,  and  attempted  to  throw  off  the 
yoke  of  the  absolute  monarchy.  AVlth 
a  few  princes,  who  acted  hastily  in 
quick  temper,  he  declared  the  indepen- 
dence of  Outer  Mongolia  and  drove 
away  the  Chinese  officials  ..  stationed 
there  This  gave  the  Russians  an  op- 
portunity to  mislead  the  ^  Mongolians. 
By  using  pleasing  words,  and  undertak- 
ing to  supply  the  Mongolians  with  mon- 
ey, provisions  and  munitions,  the  Rus- 
elons  under  the  pretence  of  supporting 
the  Mongols  really  attempted  to  annex 
Mongolia. 

"In  the  recent  secret  treaty  with  the 
Living  Buddha  in  Urga.  the  Russians 
unjustifiably  employ  the  word  Mon- 
golia, which  1«  wrong,  because  the  Liv- 
ing Buddha  cannot  ^clalm  to  represent 
the  wholA  of  innfer  and  Outer  Mongolia. 
•When  negotiations  were  opened  at  Urga 
only  two  Mongol  princes  and  two  dukes 
participated,  the  majority  -of  the  princes 
and  nobles  were  opposed  to  the  negotia- 
tions. Some  of  them  were  compelled, 
^\y  force,  to  agree  to  the  convention. 
<<  four  Khalkha  Leagues,  and  the 
-  princes  and  dukes,  did  not  In 
jhcarta  desire  autonomy.  More- 
oVet^even  if  they  had  agreed,  the  In- 
ner Mongoli*,  and  the  tribes  of  ill  and 
Chlnghai  were  not  consulted,  and  knew 
nothing  ahout  the  convention.  There- 
fore the  use  of  the  word  "Mongolia" 
cannot  be  Justified.  If  you  will  read 
the  contents  of  the  agreement  you  will 
perceive  that  It  really  constitutes  an 
attempt  on  the  part  of  Russia  to  annex 
Mongolia.  Under  the  pretence  of  pro- 
tecting Mongolia  the  Russians  are 
breaking  International  law.  and-  endan- 
gering the  peace  of  the  ^-ar  East,  and 
consequently    of    the    world. 

"The  Mongolians  regard  the  Con- 
vention a»  confiscating  their  territories 
and  infringing  their  liberties.  They 
fear  that  Mongolia  will  now  become  a 
«econd  Poland  or  Korea,  the  laughing 
stock  of  all  the  nations  of  the  world. 
Most  of  the  Mongolians  are  not  en- 
lJ«htened,' but  they  cannot  tolerate  such 
unlawful  acts.  No  people  In  the  world 
will  wllj^lngly  submit  to  the  loss  of  Its 
territory.  As  far  as  the  Mongolians 
cAn  see  Russia  Is  trying  to  confiscate 
their  territory.  We  Mongolians  must 
unit*  to  prevent  this.  I  am  speaking 
very  briefly  to  you  tonight,  but  I  shall 
te  gla^a  to  see  any  of  you  by  appoint- 
ment to  explain  our  views  more  fully. 
and  to  communicate  to  you  anything 
the  Sovernment  may  desire  to  place  at 
your  dlspoBRl.  I  only  now  ask  you  to 
k«ep  the  point  of  view  of  Justice  In 
your  rolnd." 

prince  Na  also  spoke,  substantially 
confirming  Prince  Kalachlng"s  state- 
ments, and  In  reply  to  questions  nd- 
dtWMed  to  him  by  some  of  the  guests 
sMted  that  the  Cheptsundampa  Hutuk- 
tu had  endeavored  to  quell  opposition 
by  murdering  or  ill-treating  those  who 
ot>POsed  him.  One  prince  of  the  Dzas- 
bckt'u  Khanate  had  been  poisoned.  An- 
other prince  In  the  Oobl  desert  ha.d' 
been  put  to  death.  A  third  prince  In 
the  Tsetsen  Khanate  had  been  Imprls- 
oiied  by  his  order,  and  stripped  of  hia 
dlgnlttes.  Except  the  two  princes  and 
two  dukes  referred  to  by  Prince  Kala- 
cNlng,  none  of  the  Mongolian  chieftains 
genuinely  favored  the  Russian  Conven- 
tion. The  prince*  and  Hutuktua  of 
Outer  Mongolia,  Prince  Na  added,  were 
supposed  to  l>e  the  pupils  of  the  Chept- 
sundatnpa  Hutuktu,  but  he  exercised 
only  spiritual  authority  over -them,  and

Daring  Venture  of  Tailors  in

London  may  soon  see  a  prnctlcal  de- 
monstration on  a  large  scale  of  the  pos- 
sibilities that  lie  In  using  bright  colors 
for  men's  clothe.s.  As  to  what  form 
the  demonstration  will  take  it  Is  Impos- 
sible at  present  to  say  anything.  a.s 
the  ld<?a  Is  being  guarded  Jealously  until 
the  time  is  ripe  to  present  it  to  a 
startled    world. 

A  recent  article  In  The  Standard  on 
the  question  of  brighter  rolors  for  men's 
garbs  caused  a  great  deul  of  Interest 
amongst  the  West  End  tailors,  and  also 
a  great  diversity  of  opinion.  Some 
there  are  who  support  the  proposition 
wholeheartedly,  and  who  are  even  ready 
to  put  their  enthu-slasm  into  practk-al 
effect  by  spreading  the  propaganda  of 
color  amongst  ihelr  customers.  There 
Is  no  doubt  that  the  adoption  of  bright- 
ness would  be  all  to  the  gcod  of  tlvc 
tailoring  trade;  But  while  this  Is  unl- 
ver.lally  recognized  there  arc  others 
who  say  that  no  campaign  In  favor  of 
color  will  ever  succeed,  and  that  man'ii 
na\ural  timidity  and  the  general  dis- 
taste for  appearing  conspicuous  are  too 
deep-rooted  to  be  ever  removed — at 
at  least  "in  our  time." 

"Theoretically  I  am  very  much  In 
favor  of  the  Idea,"  said  Mr.  Arlington 
of  Piccadilly,  "but  it  Is  quite  a  differ- 
ent matter  to  fit  into  practice.  The  only 
customer  we  ever  get  here  who  wants 
anythln?  in  Iho  way  of  bright  colors  Is 
the  'nut,'  und  may  we  be  preserved  from 
him.  But  the  usual  serious  customer 
will  have  nothing  which  Is  left  off  the 
beaten  track.  Anything  'outre'  makes 
him  shudder.  We  have  found.  Indeed, 
that  while  colors  last  year  were  much 
more  cl-eerful,  this  year  they  have 
drop.>ed  back  to  the  nuietcst  tones. 
Colored  waistcoats,  for  instance,  are  not 
a.sked  for  at  all  Ju.^t  now. 

"True,  that  recently  we  have  made  two 
blue  evening  dress  suits — but  these  are 
very  much  the  exception.  We  find  it 
very  difficult  to  introduce  real  chanifes 
— the  blue  coat  with  a  strap  at  the  hack, 
for  instance.  In  nap  cloth,  which  Is  now 
so  popular.  At  first  we  found  It  ex- 
tremely hard  to  ipersuadc  customers 
that  it  was  a  'a  smart  and  becoming' 
garment.  Now  It  is  quite  a  favorite. 
But  generally  we  avoid  pressing  any- 
thing 'outre'  on  our  clients.  We  should 
be  afraid  of  them  coming  back  In  a  very 
bad  temper  to  say  that  people  in  the 
street  had  been  making  remarks  about 
them." 

\  well-known  tailor  In  Savlle  now, 
who  Is  a  supporter  of  the  new  Ideas, 
took  quite  the  opposite  view  to  this. 
"If  spade  work  Is  to  be  done,"  he  said. 
"It  Is  the  tailor  who  has  got  to  do  It, 
and  he  must  not  be  nervous  of  what  his 
customer  la  going  to  say  afterwards. 
To  begin  with,  he  would  only  advise 
somethlnig  ultra-smart  for  a  certain 
type  of  customer  who  could  carry  It  off 
successfully,  and  again,  he  must  Intro- 
duce such  changes  gradually.  Within 
the  next  two  or  three  years  I  expert  to 
see  a  great  revival  of  colors.  What 
the  public  does  not  understand  Is  that 
nowadays  Just  a.s  fine  shades  and  ef- 
fects can  toe  produced  In  cloths  as  were 
formerly  produced  In  silks  and  satins, 
80  that  we  can  combine  durability  with 
a  supreme  elegance  that  In  the  days  of 
ruffles  was  only  possible  with  the  most 
delicate  fabrics.  On  the  continent  there 
Is  a  move  towards  this  elegance  in  col- 
ors. England  Is  still  supreme  in  the 
hnaking  of  cloths,  and  will  always  re- 
main so.  But  If  we  are  not  careful  *re 
shall  have  the  continent  setting  the 
styles  for  men's  dress  as  well  as  wo- 
men's, and  that  Is  a  thing  that  every 
patriotic  Knsrllshman  must  •w*ep  over. 
Fancy  our  best  dressed  men  beinc  tail- 
ored  by  another  nation!" 

A  representative  of  The  Standard 
was  privlleiced  to  see  sorhe  of  the  new 
brlg<hter  colored  cloths  Juat  out  of  the 
manufacturers'  hands,  and  whteh  the

"The  aeroplane  is  now  acknowledged 
to  b«  a  necessary  arm  ot  war,"  said 
Sir  Oeorga  White  al  ISiistol  recently, 
"and  It  behooves  the  niembers  of  our 
Oovornment  to  hcmtir  themselves  if  we 
are  not  to  bt  left  bohlnd  in  the  great 
race.  For.  believe  mo,  during  the  next 
five  years  the  powers  will  call  for 
tho\isands.  if  not  It'iiK  of  thousands,  of 
aoroplanus.  and  llie  dovoKipnienl.s  in 
their  use  for  both  milllary  and  naval 
purposes  will  be  startling,  and  will  have 
u  far-reaching  effect  upon  tho  fnture  m' 
warfare,  though  In  my  opinion  ilie  iio.-^- 
session  of  a  strong  fleet  of  aeroplanes 
by  any  country  will,  just  at  it  is  with 
a  strong  navy,  be  a  dominating  Influ- 
ence for  peace." 

Sir  George  White,  presiding  :it  ''if 
annual  dinner  of  the  Bristol  and  West 
of  Knf;land  Aero  Club,  wu.s  able  to  tell 
of  striking  developments  in  the  manu- 
facture of  aeroplanes  by  ihi  Rritl.sh 
company  of  which  he   Is  at   t: 

It  was.  he  said,  started  about  two 
years  ago,  and  during  the  past  twelve 
months  It  had  made  great  -i-  irs, 
though  It  was'"m6stly  al)roa<l.  l-.aii:,  m 
the  history  of  the  company  hejvent  to 
the  War  Office  authorltle.^  and  told 
them  frankly  that  while  he  had  st hcnI 
the  enterprise  as  a  commercial  under- 
taking which  he  bell'-ved  would  he  a 
great  success,  yet.  he  was  also  impelled 
by  a  patriotic  desire  to  see  tiiat  Britain 
should  not  lag  behind  and,  therefore.  If 
the  British  and  Colonial  authorities 
would  supply  tho  company  with  orders 
In  sufhclent  quantities  It  would  under- 
take not  to  build  for  any  foreign  pow- 
ers. 

Tho  answer  he  got  was  that  tliey 
were  buying  foreign  niiichlnes,  and 
should  continue  to  do  mo  whenever  th<'y 
thought  j)roper,  and  that  the  rompan.v 
were  equally  at  liberty  to  supply  any 
country  who  would  take  their  manufac- 
tures. 

"Wp  tl'.t.n  naturally  turned  our  at- 
tention to  those  and  othei-  countries," 
continued  Sir. George,  "with  the  result 
that  .»  I. umber  of  foreign  powers  have 
been  cnlj-  too  glad  to  avail  thcni.ielvPs 
of  Bristol  manufactures. 

"Amon.'Tst  them  I  may  mention  Uus- 
sla.  Ge -pi.tny,  Italy,  Turkey,  Bilga.-ia, 
Roumanitt  and  Spain.  (Cheers.)  More- 
over. In  ihe  case  of  Oennany  we  were 
cordially  invited  to  start  a  factory 
there,  and  we  have  therefore  built  and 
equipped  both  factory  und  school  in 
Germany.  The  Italian  Government  a 
few  months  ago  sent  a  commission 
abroad  to  determine  the  machine  they 
would  adopt,  not  only  for  their  own  war 
office,  but  also  to  enable  them  to  ad- 
vise the  nail  v.ial  patriotic  fund  as  to 
the  machine.s  to  be  selected  for  pur- 
chase Willi  the  large  funds  raised  by 
national     s'lbncrlnllon." 

As  the  rasuittof  Inve.'itlgatlon  and  by 
the  experience  which  they  had  liad,  of 
tlie  "Brlstols"  In  the  war  with  Turkey 
the  Italian  War  Office  declared,  the 
"Bristol"  monoplane  the  best  aeroplane 
for  military  purposes:  and  followlntr 
upon  this  decision  the  national  com- 
mittee and  war  office  Initial  order."? 
for  "Brlstols"  would,  he  mentioned,  run 
Into  'l)etw€en  fifty  and  slpty  mono- 
planes   as    a.  commencing    order. 

Then  the  company  had  been  pressed 
by  the  Russian  military  authorities  to 
start  a  factory  in  Russia  with  prom- 
ises of  large  orders  If  they  did  so.  and 
the  matter  was  now  receiving  the  com- 
pany's consideration.  In  Koumunl.'i  they 
recently  demonstrated  at  the  military 
manoeuvres  with  such  success  that 
they  had  already  received  opening  or- 
ders for  ten  "Bristol"  monoplanes. 
(Cheers.) 

"During  the  past  twelve  months," 
announced  Sir  George  White,  "wc  have 
turned  out  at  Kilton  about  £70,000 
worth  of  machlne.s,  of  which  the  Brit- 
ish Government  has  contributed 
£8.000  only,  whilst  the  orders  for  other 
countries  for  'Brlstols'  still  unexecuted 
would  probably  total  ten  times  tlie 
amount  of  work  we  tuive  in  hand  for 
our   own    (3(.ovcmment. 

"In  fact,  our  foreign  orders  are  so 
encouraging  that  we  are  again  nearly 
doubling  the  size  of  the  factory  In  or- 
der   to    cope    with    the    work.      (Cheers.) 

"Not  only  do  •  foreign  powers  buy 
'Brlstols,'  but  they  send  their  officers 
to  Bristol  for  tuition.  Wc  have  al- 
ready taught  German,  Bulgarian, 
Chinese,  Italian,  Turkish  and  Bpnnlsh 
oflloers;  and  at  this  moment  there  are 
half  a  dozen  Roumanian  officers  at  our 
school.q  on  Salisbury  Plain  learning  to 
fly  the  monoplanes,  whilst  on  the  first 
of  next  month  no  fewer  than  twenty 
Italian  officers  arrive  for  the  same  pur- 
pose. 

"During  the  past  twelve  months  we 
have  turned  out  106  certificated  avia- 
tors from  our  schools,  of  whom  eighty- 
seven  are  army  and  navy  offloers,  or 
more  pilots  than  every  other  school,  In- 
cluding government  establishments,  put 
together.  (Cheers.)  It  la  true  that  al 
the  recent  military  trials  at  Salisbury 
Plain  we  were  awarded  tl.OOO  In  prises 
and  the  authorities  purchased  our  two 
competing  machines  for  £2.000.  Again, 
the  War  Office  has  recently  entrusted 
us  -with  the  building  of  four  machines 
of  their  own  design,  wlillst  the  Admir- 
alty have  now  come  to  us  with  orders, 
and  In  addition  the  Australian  aovern- 
ment  has  given  us  their  order.  »o  that 
1  hope  during  the  ensuing  year  we  may 
see  a  quicltening  of  Interest  on  the 
part  of  oui*  British  and  Colonial  au- 
thorltie*,"

In  this  d^xartmcnt  prompt  deKvery  is  the  im-

or  packages  will  be  at  the  wharf  or  station  in

annoying  than  searching  for  your  belongings 
a  minute  before  your  steamer  sails  or  your 
train  pulls  out?  This  is  offset  by  our  claim 
checks.  Our  drivers  check  your  baggage  at 
your  residence.  You  present  the  claim  check 
to  the  baggage  master — show  your  ticket — he 
then  gives  you  the  railway  or  steamer  check, 
and  that  is  all.  You  then  go  on  your  way 
rejoicing.  If  we  cannot  attend  to  your  order

lioii  to  study  the  police  system  of  Great 
Britain.  Tills  fact  has  led  many  peo- 
ple in  the  Old  Country  to  suppose  that 
their  police  are  In  all  respects  superior 
to  those  to  be  found  elsewhere.  This, 
pt-rhaps,  Is  too  high  a  claim,  for,  while 
tile  organization  in  London  is  more  p*i'- 
ft'ct,  anil  the  men  themselves  are  of 
better  pl.yshiue,  and,  Kenerally  speak- 
iPK,  of  a  higher  order  of  intelligence 
than  those  of  other  countries— the  pro- 
I>ortlon  of  arrests'  to  cases  of  reported 
<'rlmes  being  80  per  eent.,  which  is  a  far 
higher  rath)  than  can  be  .boasted  of  by 
any  other  coiiiitry-'— the  training  of  the 
c(jnlineiital  policeman  seems  to  be  car- 
ried out  on  much  more  elaborate  anti 
■perfect   lines   than   in    Britain. 

In  France  and  Russia,  for  instanci', 
academies  for  the  liiffher  training  of 
police  have  been  established,  with  the 
rosiilt  tiuii  I  he  detective  force  secures 
many  excellent  men  from  the  rank  and 
file.  It  is  true  Great  Britain  has  police 
Bchoort!,  l>ut  they  are  not  condu(.'tPil  on 
-  »tict»  p«»rf»?<^-}+np«— M«i-  th<>f<e— on  -the  i.'t>ti- 
tinent. 

In  Great  Hrltiiln  ihc  first  stat;e  to- 
wards t!  0  niaicinj,'  of  a  policeman  is 
to  teach  him  a  little  drill,  after  which 
lie  Is  taujriit  how  to  patrol  his  beat.  A 
fiinall  blue  book  of  duty  hints  in  tabloid 
form  is  given  hiin  to  study,  while  he 
li.s  specially  coached  Tn  his  responsibili- 
ties reganllng  the  power  of  arrest  and 
the  limitation  of, Jus  powers.  The  re- 
cruit must  devote  at  least  four  weeks 
to  this  instruction.  Then  he  Is  taught 
something  of  tlie  practical  side  of  a 
policeman's  life  tiy  being  sent  to  a 
police  court  for  a  few  hours  in  the 
lYiornIn),'  to  .study  tlu'  niie.^  of  evidence 
and  how  to  xive  it,  or  he  may  be  sent 
to  a  police  station  to  remain  In  the 
charge  room  in  order  to  hear  the 
charses  brought  in  and  to  learn  wliat  la 
re(inlred  of  him.  Again,  lie  may  be 
handed  over  to  ar>  experienced  constable 
to  be  conducted  round  the  beat,  and  so 
learn  the  routine  ilutie.<«.  Vu  the  even- 
ing he  may  be  sent  to  cotinuatioti 
i'las.ses  for  general  education;  and,  last- 
ly, he  learns  ambulance  work  and  the 
best  way  of  rendering  first  aid  In  the 
case  of  accident  or  illnes.^.

In  I'rance,  the  ordinary  Paris  police- 
man beuins  career  with  a  salary  of 
1350.  and  rises  to  JiSO  a  .\'ear,  plu.s 
about  $1."  per  annum  for  what  Is  known 
a.s  "lodging  indemnity."  The  St.  Peters- 
burg i)oliceman's  higliest  pay  is  IJ.'i  a 
month,  whllt  the  Berlin  "police  receive 
from  $:.iiMi  to  $100  a  year,  an<l  an  al- 
lowance of  $60  for  iiuarters.  It  might 
he  mentioned,  by  the  way,  tliat  the 
police  in  Britain,  in  addition  to  their 
pay  get  clothing  free  and  an  allowable 
for  coal  and  boots,  while  single  mm 
■Avc  pros  Ideil  with  i|uarters  at  the  in-

are  able  to  obtain  an  ample  supply  of 
good  food  .at  a  low  cost. 

Lately,  in  (;erman.\-.  a  new  set  of 
regulations  governing  the  recruiting  of 
the  police  force  has  been  Issued.  Re- 
cruits must  have  served  nine  years  in 
the  army  or  navy,  must  be  under 
Inlrty-five  veaia  of  age.  at  ieast  five 
feet  five  and  a  half  inches  high,  and 
must  satisfactorily  undergo  a.  strict 
modlcal  examination.  Subsequently  re- 
cruits have  to  pass  a  brief  examination. 
They  are  then  accepte<l  as  probationers 
for  a  period  of  six  jnonths,  and  even 
then  definitely  accepted,  tliey  have  to 
wait  seven  years  before  they  ■  ca  i  b  • 
(luite  sure  of  making  this  their  perma- 
licju  caruei.  I'rom  this  it  is  evident 
that   the   German   authorities   are  deter- 


mined to  have  the  very  beat  men   they 
t-nxt  (At  for  the  police  force. 

Training  for  a  Oerman  policeman 
may  be  nald  to  be  the  most  arduoua  t 
any,  for.  In  addition  to  the  I^asons  In 
the  police  achool,  he  la  Inatructed  in 
the  mo6t  up-to-date  method*  of  dealing' 
with  criminal)*.  (.>ne  of  the  methods 
of  Inatructlon  l«  like  that  us*d  by  en- 
thuttlastlc  Anierlcan  footballera  prac- 
ttaing.  A  heavy  sand  bag  on  a  rope 
la  aet  awtnglng,  and  the  policeman  has 
to, run  to  meet  It  aa  It  awinga  towarda 
him  and  atop  It  dead.  Thia  la  practsle 
in  deallns  with  the  ruah  of  a  crowd 
He  ia  alBo  ittatructed  in  a  hu.id.'id  and 
one  different  matters  which  make  It 
n^ceaaary  for  him  to  always  have  his 
wits  about  him  for  't  mast  be  undt  r- 
stood  that  he  haa  a  multitude  of  dutie'] 
wtien  compared  with  the  police  of  Bri- 
tain. 

Aa  one  visitor  to  Berlin  put  it,  "The 
police  liave  a  nose  In  almost  everything. 
When  you  go  to  Bcrllji  you  are.  re- 
ported to  the  police,  .'ind  no  stranger 
can  get  in  or  out  of  the  country,  and 
no  vlflltor  can  come  or  go  wltliout  leav- 
ing a   record   of   his   visit." 

The  French  gendart\ie'«  training  Is 
also  of  a  very  mlnnie  cliaracter,  and 
tiie  flnlsh<'d  standard  Is  not  turned  out 
under  seven  or  eight  months.  Not  only 
does  he  have  to  study  by  his  superiors 
to  write  reports  of  Imaginary  accidents, 
a  collapse  of  scaffolding,  collisions  be- 
tween vehicles,  per.sons  being  arrested 
or  injured,  and  of  tires  and  the  like; 
and  to  enable  him  to  be  technically 
correct  he  is  instructed  in  the  laws 
relating  to  the  construction  of  scaffold- 
nig,  in  tlt«  mechanism  of  motors  and 
motor-trarrts,  and  .so  on.  He  is  taught 
to  neglect  n..  <l-i:i\ls  in  his  report.^, 
and  his  neeooTii  ••!  ho  H<H'id*"«t  or  ftgiit. 
for  instance,  will  be  punctuated  with 
encircled  numbers,  each  number  rep- 
resenting an  Infraclton  of  som<?  par- 
ticular law,  and  every  law  broken  Is 
given  !n  detail  at  the  end  of  the  re- 
port. 

The  Rus.slan  police  system  is  «  x- 
tremely  complicated,  for  It  practically 
gives  Russia  an  assistant  poilceinaii 
in  every  house  In  St.  Petersburg.  The 
landlord  has  a  private  porter,  or  acts 
as  a  porter  lilmself.  A  porter  has  au- 
thority to  make  an  arrest,  and  h-e  Is 
obliged  to  rush  from  the  house  to  the 
street  'Ut  the  sound  of  a  police  wiiistle. 
Aa  there  is  a  pollcemaw  stationed  .at 
every  block  which  Is  tlie  limit  of  his 
beat  and  as  *-very  policeniaa  .  within 
a  certain  radius  may  respond  willi  tlie 
porturs  to  the  signal,  it  tal<e>j  but  a 
few  seconds  to  get  a  platoon  of  uni- 
formed men.  with  almost  a  regiment 
of  porter  policemen  together. 

Russia  has  also  a  most  elaborate 
system  of  training  Us  policemen,  and 
some  lime  ago  there  was  open-ed  at  St. 
Petersburg  a  fully-equipped  police- 
man's college,  designed  to  train  men  In 
all  the  various  duties  of  an  'offlcMjr  of 
the  law.  At  this  college  policemen  are 
made  familiar  with  the  tools  used  by 
criminals,  their  teachers  liolding  that 
they  cannot  become  proficient  policemen 
In  any  other  way.  The  Russian  police- 
man attends  lectures  at  which  burg- 
lars' methods  and  instruments  are  ex- 
plained, 80  that  he  can  checkmate' them 
while  he  has  the  advantage  of  the 
criminal  museum  wlilch  is  attached  to 
the  college.  There  ev-ery  appurtenance 
Jtnown  to  the  breaker  of  the  law  must 
be  ■experimented  with  until  its  every 
use    is   thoroughly   understood. 

It  is  no  exaggeration  to  say,  how- 
ever, that  the  New  York  "bobby"  i.s 
required  to  learn  more  than  any  other 
policeman  in  the  world,  on  account  of 
the  puzzling  and  intricate  laws  of  the 
States.  For  Instance,  an  arrest  for  a 
felony  is  made  In  one  way  and  an  ar- 
rest for  a  misdemeanor  in  another. 
.\nd  not  only  does  a  i»oiiceman  deal 
with  the  criminal  law.  but  persons  may 
appear  on  his  beat  and  make  com- 
plaints which  may  implicate  him  in 
civil  matters  such  aa  divorce  suits. 
Consequently  the  old  saying,  "Be  very 
careful  what  you  do,"  Is  continually 
before  the  mind  of  the  New  York 
policeman, 

Georjje  Wilson,  who  ia  held  at  "Van- 
couver as  the  C.  P.  R.  hold-up  man,  is 
supposed  to  have  also  been  guilty  of  a 
similar  offence   at   Moncton,   N.   B.

Who  Is  the  best  known  Irishman, 
In  irolanil?  asks  a  Dublin  correspon- 
dent. No  doubt  nine  people  ont  of  ten 
would  answer  .lohn  Redmond,  biit  if 
tlia  frequency  .of  menliou  in  the  news- 
papers is  to  be  made  *,h«  t-Mt,  the 
award  wi)vild  be  given  to  Hla  llonor 
Judge  John  Walker  Craig.  Recorder  of 
Belfast.  Tiie.j'e  Is  hardly  .a  day  when 
klR  court  is  ^sitting  t'.hat  .lodge  Craig 
doesn't  furnish  "cop.v"  and  he  has  been 
doing  this  since  18117,  when  he  became 
Countj'  Court  .fudge  of  Monaghan  and 
Fermanagh.  Before  ttiat  he  was  knowii 
to  fame  as  one  of  the  Avittiest  and 
ablest  lawyers  at  Jho  Irish  Bar.  so  it 
is  a  safe  statoment  that,  by  name  at 
least,  lie  is  known  ro  every  Irish  news- 
paper reader. 

He  has  haen  getting  even  mora  than 
his  share  of  i)ublicity  r«cently.  A  few 
weeks  ago  he  declared  that  he  was 
(luite  able  to  try  the  Orange  rioters  at 
Uarland  and  Wolff's  Stiipyurd  himself, 
Instead  of  sending  them  to  Derry.  When

Craig  told  tlie  Jury  in  a  few  forcible 
and  well  chosen  words,  what  he  thought 
of  thorn.  .Since  then,  although  he  i.s 
a  .strong  Fnionlnt  himself,  he  has  not 
been  exactly  popular  In  Orange  circles 
111  Belfast. 

Ordarad   Iiawyar   Xamovad 

Last  week  again  he  has  earned 
.several  cohnmns  of  space  in  the  news- 
papers by  his  effective  method  of  deal- 
ing with  a  lawyer  in  his  court.  This 
lawyer  was  pressing  {^  claim  against  a 
■firm  of  omplo>'ers  under  the  Workinen'.s 
Oomponsation  Act,  and  he  failed  to  call 
the  evidence  of  a  doctor,  which  was 
said  to  be  essential.  Judge  Craig  de- 
clared 111  his  summing  up  that  it  was 
ovident  thnt  Bernard  Campbell,  the  law- 
yer In  question,  didn't  want  the  doctor's 
evidence  to  be  heard.  Campbell  said 
nothing  at  the  time,  but  a  couple  of 
days  later  he  rose  In  court  and  tried  to 
re-otion  the  case,  declaring/  that  the 
recorder  liad  Impiinged  liis  iionor. 
.Imlge  Craig  refused  to  hear  him,  and  on 
his  persisting  ordered  him  to  be  re- 
moved from  the  court.  Campbell  still 
tried  to  tfllk  .and  eventually  he  was 
dragged  out  by  two  policemen  sliouting 
at   the    lop   of   his   voice. 

"You're  a  liarl  You're  a  traiiorl 
Your  a  toward!  "  and  inviting  the  judge 
to  come  outside  and  settle  the  qtiarrcl 
"like  and  Irishman." 

.fudge  Craig,  who  is  now  about  B4 
.sears  old,  was  born  in  .Stixibane,  County 
Tyrone,  and  educated  wholly  In  Ire- 
land. He  had  a  brilliant  career  at  tlie 
Raphoe  Royal  School  and  the  old 
Quoon's  College  at  Belfast,  and  he 
leaped  to  the  front  at  once  when  he 
wa.s  called  to  the  Irish  bar  In  1S71, 
In  1 883  ho  bccrf.nc  Crown  Prosecutor 
for  County  Louth,  and  in  189L'  senior 
crown  prosecutor  for  County  Mon- 
aghan. He  was  corporation  counsel  In 
Belfast  from  1892  to  1897,  when  he  !>e- 
came  a  county  court  Judge  and  last 
. .v'^ar  ho  was  promoted  to  the  important 
post  of  recorder  of  Belfast. 
Znalata    on    Trutb 

Throughout  his  whole  Judicial  career, 
.lodge  Craig  has  been  at  loggerheads 
with  the  lawyers  because  of  hla  con- 
ception of  his  duties — a  novel  concep- 
tion In  Ireland  at  least.  He  has  acted 
on  the  theory  that  he  is  not,  as  many 
judges  seem  to  believe,  merely  the  um- 
pire whose  duty  It  Is  to  see  that  the 
game  is  played  according-  to  tltc  rules. 
His  idea  is  that  the  duty  of  the  Judge 
is  to  see  that  the  truth  is  brought  out 
and  if  the  opposing  lawyers  don't 
bring  It  out.  to  take  a  hand  himself. 
Time  after  time  he  has  taken  the  ex- 
amination of  witnesses  out  of  coun- 
sel's hands  end  brought  out  an  entirely 
different  story  from  that  which  the 
lawyers  were  trying  to  put  before  the 
jury.  When  he  was  at  the  bar  he  was 
noted  as  one  of  the  most  skilful  cfoss- 
nxaminors  in  Ireland  and  he  has  loat 
none  of  his   akill   on    the   bench. 

In  the  days,  now  happily  nearly 
past,  whan  the  religious  complexion  of 
a  plaintiff  or  defendont  had  a  lot  to  do 
with  the  decision  of  a  Jnry  In  aoma  dis- 
tricts, Judge  Craig  «Urned  fame  for  the 
war  which  he  waged  on  this  abuse.  On 
one  occasion  when  he  was  sitting  in 
his  native  county  oV  Tyrone,  a  Jury  of 
rreabyierians  acquitted  a  co-rellgionist 
who  was  accused  of  4n  aggravated  aa- 
aault  oh  a  Roman  Catholic. 

"1  am  aahamed  to  be  a  Prasbyterian 
thia  day,"  said  Judge  Craig,  "and 
I  won't  accept  your  verdict.  I  am 
aehamad  as  a  Tyrone  inan  that  I  will 
hava  to  sand  this  man  to  Dublin  to 
be  tried  so  that  a  Roman  Catholic 
Tyroni   man   can    get   justice," 

In    the    n«xt    case    that    came    before 
him    he   ask^d   every   Juror  hla    religion 
and    whether    he    had      any      prejudice 
against  men  of  other  faiths,  and  ha  got 
a   verdict   tn   accordance   with   the  evl- 
den6e.  ... .. .''

An  Advance  McLaughlin  Cars 

Announcement  Nineteen-Ttiirteen 

As  exemplifyii\si'  the  latest  and  most  desirable  features  of  motor  car  construction,  the 
new  McLaughlin  Models  for   l'^)!^  are  worthy  of  more  than  a  casual  scrutiny.    Two  road- 

sterb  and  three   ttTOtrngcttrs  comprise  the  new  series,  and  in  them  the  McLaughlin  princi-- — — 

pie  of  sound',  scientific  construction  is  embodied. 

The  Model  .^1  (pictured  above)  is  characterized  by  smart  lines  and  elegani  and  refined 
appointments.  The  rear  seat  measures  45  inches  on  top  of  cushion,  being  of  the  soft  front 
Pullman  type;  the  backs  are  soft  and  easy,  while  the  seats  are  large  enough  and  roomy  enough 
to  ensure  restful,  solid  comfort  on  the  road.    Y  ou  sit  in  this  car,  not  on  it. 

"Models  "34"  and  "35"  of  1912  have  been  replaced  with  models  "24"  and  "25,"  26  h.p. 
These  are  splendid  cars.  The  appointments  and  equipment  are  equal  to  that  of  our  very 
best  models. 

The  new  McLaughlin  40  is  a  perfect  beauty  in  design,  construction  and  finish,  its  pre- 
dominant features  are  its  rich,  luxurious  upholstering,  suggestive ,  of  easeful  morris-chair 
comfort;  its  lon{k,  graceful  lines  denoting  power,  efficiency  and  speed. 

Points  of  particular  interest  in  the  new  McLaughlin  models  are  illustrated  and  described 
in  the  McLaughlin  advance  catalogue  for  191  3.  After  you  have  obtained  some  idea  of  the 
cars  in  print,  we  should  like  you  to  come  and  see  the  cars  in  reality.

Caution! 

A  MATTER  OF  POSTAGE 
It  has  been  brought  to  our  at- 
tention that  many  persons  who 
mail  The  Colonist  to  friends 
abroad  put  only  a  one  cent  stamp 
on  the  wrapper,  the  general  im- 
pression being  that  one  cent  will 
pay  the  postage  on  a  newspaper 
irrespective  of  its  weight.  This 
is  a  mistake.    The  ordinary  daily 

issue  of  The  Colonist  requires 
two  cents  postage,  and  the  Sun- 
day edition  three  cents.  News- 
papers mailed  with  the  postage  in- 
sufficiently paid  are  not  sent  out 
by  the  Postoffice. 


SUBSCRIBERS  in 
ordering  change  of 
address  should  be  par- 
ticular to  give  both 
new   and   old   address

INDIANAPOLIS,  Ind„  Dec.  24.— Sell- 
ing cigarettes  to.  a  thlrteen-yeax-old 
boy  cost  Koy  Campbell,  proprietor  of 
a  candy,  tobacco  and  notion  tstore  at 
College  Avenue  and  TTventy-second 
Street,  $50  and  cost.s,  a  total  of  $80,  and 
his  seventeen-year-old  clefk,  a  senior 
In  one  of  the  local  high  schools,  $1  and 
costs. 

Campbell  entered  a  plea  of  not  guilty 
and  the  clerk  pleaded  guilty  in  Juvenile 
Court.  Judge  Taylor  eaJd  he  was  in- 
clined to  be  lenient  with  the  clerk  on 
account   of    h»a    inexperience. 

"In  many  cases  it  la  necessary  to  tsend 
hoys  Buffering  from  the  cigarette  habit 
to  some  Institution,"  the  Judge  nald. 
"The  parents,  in  some  cases,  know  what 
the  boys  are  doing  and  are  unable  to 
stop  thorn.  It  is  most  Important  that 
the  habit  be  broken  In  the  public 
schools. 

"1  hope  the  teachers  in  the  public 
schools  will  notify  me  of  pupils  who 
smoke  cigarettes.  Any  policemen  who 
will  bring  a  case  of  a  young  boy  smok- 
ing cigarettes  to  the  court  will  receive 
my  hearty  approval.  It  is  the  duty  of 
every  private  citizen  to  report  all  cases 
of  this  nature  to  me,  for  the  law  is  a 
good  one,  and  should  bp  enforced  with 
tha  ftssislance  of  the  people." 

The  witnesses  against  Campbell  were 
two  boys,  pupils  at  Public  School  No.  2D. 
One  boy  testified  that  he  bought  a  pack- 
age of  cigarettes  from  Campbell.  His 
testimony  was  corroborated  by  th*  other 
boy.  Campbell  denied  the  story.  The 
clerk  pleaded  guilty  to  selling  cigar- 
ettes to  another  boy. 

Judge  Taylor  warnad  tha  boys  before 
him,  who  had  confessed  cigarette  amok- 
Ing.  that  they  were  llaoie  to  punish- 
ment   If    they   continued    the   habit.

LONDON,  Dec.  23.  — M.  Fernand

of  Boveral  theatrical  tintorprlses  both 
on  (he  Continont  ami  In  Ainerira,  has 
concluded  an  agreeint-nt  to  lease  the 
London  Opera  Iiou.se  from  Mr.  Oscaf 
HammarKluIn  at  a  rental  rising  from 
176,000  to  1100,000  per  annum  for  a 
pftrlod  of  fifteen  yearn.  Hecuntiy  the 
Lontlon  (Joiinty  Council  Kranted  the 
Opera  House  a  Ucon.so  for  niiislo, 
dancing  and  slaKe  plays.  M.  Akoun  will 
bo  nianafe'lntf  director,  and  Mr.  Ben 
Nathan  the  woU-known  liupreasarln, 
will  be  tlve  general  manager,  with  Mr. 
Herbert   Orover   as   asslKtant    manager 

M.  Akoun,  outlining  liisj  plans,  miid: 
"I  shall  optiii  the  London  Opera  Hoii.se 
on  Boxing  Day  a.s  a  Htrlctly  family 
theatre—a  place  in  wlilcli  parents  may 
lake  their  children  without  fear  of 
hearing  or  .seeing  anything  iho.t  ought 
not  to  be  heard  or  tieon.  1  have  de- 
clined to  give  entertainments  of  a  dis- 
tinctly novel  character.  They  will  be 
nolther  operatic,  nor  inunic  hall,  nor  i 
~<nMetT)atograp1i,~BuTar~cafeful  blending  "• 
of  all  thro  J  clashes  of  performances. 
The  house  will  be  open  all  the  ye«r 
round,  various  'soasons'  being  given  to 
different  forms  of  amti.semont.  Ballots 
of  all  nations  and  grand  opera  In  ICni-, 
lish  will  be  given  at  stated  periods,  but 
for  the  greater  portion  of  the  year  the 
theatre  will  be  devoted  to  a  combina- 
tion of  selected  vaudeville  nets,  clne- 
matograplus    and    musical    sketches. 

"I  have  already  fixed  up  eontract.s 
with  a  large  number  of  British  artlstH, 
and  also  with  many  who  have  mjrt  ap- 
peared In  this  country.  In  connlJction 
with  my  Idoi  of  calling  the  Opera 
House  'the  fainily  Theatre,'  1  am  going 
to  Introduce  a  custom  of  giving  teas  to 
family  parties  in  the  foyer  and  in  the 
pretty  tearooms  during  an  Interval  at 
the  matfnoo.i  specially  arranged  for  that 
purpose.  Occupiers  of  boxes  will  have 
tea  laid  in  the  anto-rooms  adjoining. 
Another  distinctive  feature  of  my 
scheme  will  bo  the  giving  up  of  the 
entire  theatre  on  Saturday  mcirning  to 
school  children  to  witness  instructive 
and  entertaining  cinematographs,  and 
hoar  lectures  on  popular  stibjects,  such 
BS  naturar  history,  which  the  pictures 
will  Illustrate.  The  charge  will  be  2d. 
per  head — I^ondon  Opera  Hou.se  for  2d. — 
end  a  splendid  thing  it  will  be,  too.  for 
the  children.  Otherwise  the  prices  will 
range  from  6d.  to  '.s ,  any  seat  to  be 
booked  in  advance  if  necessary.  Bo.xes 
will  bo  had  for  a  guinea.  There  are 
many  otr.er  interesting  details  ulannetl, 
which    I    shall    announce    l«ter    on."

LONDON,  Dec.  23. —M.  Fernan(J 
Akouii,  the  Managing  Director  of  Luna 
Park— the  "White  City"  of  Paris —  and 
of  several  theatrical  ontorprises  both 
on  the  Continent  ami  In  America,  has 
concluded  an  agreement  to  lease  Uio 
London  Opera  W.ou^^e  from  Mr.  Oscar 
Hammorstuln  at  a  rental  rising  from 
|7r>,000  to  $100,000  per  annum  for  a 
pOriod  of  fiftten  years.  Uectmtly  the 
London  '  County  Council  Kranied  the 
Opf-ra  Houne  a  liticnso  for  unislc, 
dancing  and  utage  plays.  M.  AVtoim  will 
be  managliiK  director,  and  Mr.  Hen 
Nathan  llie  woll-ktiown  liiiprcasarlo, 
will  be  Die  general  md-nagor,  witli  Mr. 
Herbert    Grovor    as    asHistunt    manager 

M.  Akoun,  outlining  lils  plans,  said: 
"l  shall  open  the  London  Opera  I-Ioiise 
on  Boxing  Day  a.s  a  strictly  family 
theatre — a  place  to  wlUcli  parents  may 
talio  their  children  xvlthout  fear  <>f 
hearing  or  aeeing  anything  that  ouglit 
not  to  be  heard  or  t^eon.  I  have  de- 
clined to  give  entertalnment.s  of  a  dis- 
tinctly novel  chaiuolor.  They  will  be 
iKiithir  operatic,  imr  m'inic  liall,  nor 
cinematograpli,  but  a  careful  iilonding 
of  all  thre3  classes  of  performances. 
The  honse  will  be  open  all  the  ye«r 
round,  varlou-s  'seasons'  being  given  to 
Ulffereni  formo  of  amii.scmcnt.  Ballets 
of  all  nations  and  grand  opera  In  Kun 
lish  will  be  given  at  staled  perlod.s,  but 
for  the  greater  portion  of  the  year  the 
theatre  ■will  be  devoted  lo  a  combina- 
tion of  f elected  vaudeville  acts,  clne- 
matograph.s    and    musical    sketches. 

"1  have  already  fi-xod  up  contracts 
■with  a  large  number  of  British  artistK, 
and  also  with  many  who  have  not  ap- 
peared In  this  country.  In  connection 
with  my  Idei  of  calling  the  Opera 
House  'the  family  Theatre."  I  am  going 
to  Introduce  a  custom  of  giving  teas  to- 
family  parties  in  the  foyer  and  in  the 
pretty  tearooms  during  an  interval  at 
the  matrncC'.'?  specially  arranged  for  that 
purpo.oe.  Occupiers  of  boxes  will  have 
tc«  laid  In  the  ante-rooms  adjoining. 
Another  distinotivo  feature  of  my 
.scheme  ^-ill  be  the  giving  up  of  the 
entire  theatre  on  Saturday  mQrning  to 
.school  children  to  ■witnes.'i  instructive 
and  entertaining  cinematographs,  and 
hoar  lo-:tiircs  -on  popular  subjects,  such 
ns  natural  history,  ■which  the  pictures 
will  illustrate.  The  charge  will  bo  2d. 
per  head — London  Opera  House  for  2d. — 
itnd  a  pplendid  thing  It  will  bo.  U,o.  for 
the  children.  Othorwi.«e  the  prices  will 
range  from  6d.  to  Ss ,  any  seat  lo  be 
booked  in  advance  If  necessary.  Boxes 
will  bo  had  for  a  guinea.  There  are 
many  oir.er  interesting  details  jilanned, 
■which    I    shall   announce   later    on."
